Tulip Garden Srinagar

We enjoyed the beauty of several varieties of Tulip. The Tulip Garden is a stunning garden located on the foothills of the Zabarwan Range in Srinagar, overlooking the Dal Lake. It is the largest tulip garden in Asia, known for its vibrant display of millions of tulips and other flowers. Best Time to Visit: The garden is a seasonal attraction, open only during the spring season. The peak blooming season is from late March to mid-April, when the tulips are in full bloom for the annual Tulip Festival. The exact opening and closing dates depend on weather conditions each year. Hours: The garden is generally open daily from around 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with slightly different hours on Sundays (9:00 AM - 5:00 PM). Getting There: The garden is approximately 8 km from Lalchowk Srinagar and 22 km from International Airport Srinagar. Tickets: The entrance fee is around 50 INR per adult and 20 INR per child, with online and offline booking options available. The garden was opened in 2007 to boost floriculture and tourism in the Kashmir Valley. It houses over 1.7 million tulip bulbs of 74 different varieties, in addition to other flowers like hyacinths, daffodils, and ranunculus. The stunning backdrop of the Zabarwan mountains and Dal Lake makes it a popular spot for nature lovers and photographers.

Tulip Garden is located adjacent the Botanical Garden. The garden is planned in line with the Mughal gardens in terms of the layout of pathways with water channels, cascades and fountains. The garden opens in March when the Tulips bloom - a mesmerizing spectacle of nature to behold - in all possible colours and hues. Not only tulips, there are flowering plants of various other species as well. Beautifully manicured lawns and decorated flower beds arranged in various shapes abound. Located at foothills of the Zabarwan range, the garden is terraced in two or three levels - not as steep as the Chasme Shahi. Entry fee is Rs.75/person. Parking is about half a kilometre away... common for both the Tulip and the Botanical gardens.

Tulip Garden in Srinagar is truly a visual masterpiece and one of the most breathtaking attractions in Kashmir. Spread across the foothills of the Zabarwan Range overlooking the serene Dal Lake, this garden feels like walking into a living painting. I visited during the annual Tulip Festival, and it was nothing short of magical. Rows upon rows of tulips in every imaginable color—crimson red, sunshine yellow, lavender, pink, and even rare black tulips—stretch as far as the eye can see. The garden is immaculately maintained and beautifully laid out in terraces, each offering a unique palette of blooms. The backdrop of snow-capped mountains and the cool spring breeze make the experience even more surreal. You can easily spend hours wandering the paths, taking photos, and soaking in the natural beauty. Every corner looks like it was designed for a postcard! There are plenty of resting spots, refreshment stalls, and local handicraft counters around. The place is quite family-friendly, with clean walkways and seating areas. However, it’s best to wear comfortable shoes since the garden covers a large area and involves a fair bit of walking. The best time to visit is between late March and mid-April, when the tulips are in full bloom. The timing can vary slightly each year depending on the weather, so checking the festival dates in advance is a good idea. Early morning visits are particularly rewarding—the light is perfect for photography, and the crowds are thinner. The entry fee is reasonable, and parking facilities are adequate. The security and staff are courteous and helpful, ensuring a pleasant experience for everyone. The view of Dal Lake and the distant Pir Panjal range from the upper terraces is simply unforgettable. Overall, the Tulip Garden is not just a tourist attraction—it’s an experience that captures the essence of Kashmir’s springtime charm. Whether you’re a nature lover, a photographer, or just someone looking for peace and color, this place will leave you mesmerized. Truly deserving of its title as Asia’s largest tulip garden and one of the crown jewels of Kashmir tourism. 🌷

Tulip Garden opens up from late March and extends upto late April until the Tulips wave in blooms. With an entry fee of Rs 75/person, this heavenly garden, is a soothing treat to the eyes. It will take about 2-3 hrs for a full tour of the garden. There are fountains and blossoms everywhere, reverberating a happy vibe over the valley. There is a market outside the garden, which I found very pocket friendly and I took all the gift items from there itself. There is a botanical garden nearby this place.
