Nishat Bagh (Garden of Delight) – Srinagar
Nestled on the eastern banks of Dal Lake, Nishat Bagh is a splendid 17th-century Mughal garden, designed by Asif Khan, the brother of Nur Jahan. With the Zabarwan Mountains forming a breathtaking backdrop, this terraced garden is adorned with cascading fountains, floral beds, and chinar trees. Its twelve terraces represent the twelve signs of the zodiac, offering panoramic views of Dal Lake that captivate every visitor.
Shalimar Bagh (Abode of Love) – Srinagar
Commissioned by Emperor Jahangir for his beloved wife Nur Jahan, Shalimar Bagh is the crown jewel of Mughal horticulture in Kashmir. Laid out in the classical Persian style, the garden boasts symmetrical canals, ancient trees, and elegant pavilions. The central watercourse, lined with fountains and chinar trees, leads the way through three distinct terraces symbolizing public, private, and royal spaces.
Shankaracharya Temple – Srinagar
Perched atop the Shankaracharya Hill, this ancient Hindu temple offers sweeping views of Srinagar and Dal Lake. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the stone structure dates back to around 200 BCE and was later renovated by Adi Shankaracharya, after whom it is named. Pilgrims and tourists alike trek the stone steps not just for spiritual solace, but also for one of the most stunning panoramic vistas in the Kashmir Valley.
Chashme Shahi Garden (Royal Spring Garden) – Srinagar
This small yet enchanting Mughal garden is famed for its natural spring that flows from the Zabarwan Mountains. Built by Ali Mardan Khan under the reign of Emperor Shah Jahan in 1632, Chashme Shahi is a three-tiered garden filled with fresh floral beauty, tranquil pools, and the iconic spring water believed to have medicinal properties. It's a serene escape into nature and Mughal elegance.
Thajiwas Glacier – Sonamarg
A paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers, Thajiwas Glacier lies just a short trek from Sonamarg. Snow-clad even in summer, it is surrounded by lush meadows, pine forests, and sparkling streams. Visitors can enjoy pony rides, snow activities, or simply bask in the surreal beauty of the icy landscape, making it one of the most iconic attractions in Kashmir.
Gulmarg Gondola – Gulmarg
One of the highest cable cars in the world, the Gulmarg Gondola takes you from the base of the lush Gulmarg meadows to the lofty heights of Apharwat Peak. The ride is split into two phases, offering panoramic views of snow-covered peaks and alpine forests. In winter, it’s a skier's dream; in summer, a hiker’s haven. The gondola is not just a ride—it's an experience that elevates you to the heart of the Himalayas.
