Attraction
Mughal Gardens (Nishat, Shalimar, Chashme Shahi)
Srinagar's three Mughal Gardens built by Mughal emperors who called Kashmir 'paradise on Earth' are terraced masterpieces of Persian-style landscaping. Nishat Bagh (Garden of Joy, 1633) is the largest, with 12 terraces representing the 12 zodiac signs cascading down to Dal Lake. Shalimar Bagh (Abode of Love, 1619) was Emperor Jahangir's gift to Empress Nur Jahan, with black marble pavilions and hundreds of fountains. Chashme Shahi (Royal Spring, 1632) is the smallest and most intimate, built around a natural mountain spring believed to have healing properties. All three offer stunning views of Dal Lake and the snow-capped Zabarwan range.
Take a peaceful stroll through another iconic Mughal garden, widely known for its rich royal history and incredibly serene surroundings.
Take a relaxed evening walk along the Dal Lake promenade and treat the family to some tasty local snacks from nearby vendors.
Return to the hotel to enjoy a warm, comforting dinner together as a family. Overnight Stay: Srinagar
