Nishat Bagh (Garden of Joy)

Nishat Bagh is a stunning terraced Mughal garden located on the eastern banks of the Dal Lake in Srinagar, Kashmir. Overlooking the shimmering lake with the Zabarwan Mountains as a backdrop, this 12-terrace garden was built in 1633 by Asif Khan, the brother-in-law of Mughal Emperor Jehangir. Each terrace represents a different zodiac sign and is adorned with flowing water channels, fountains, and vibrant flowerbeds—creating a perfect blend of natural beauty and Mughal grandeur.

Shalimar Bagh

Shalimar Bagh is the largest Mughal garden in Kashmir, built in 1619 by Emperor Jehangir for his beloved wife Nur Jahan. Situated on the northeastern shore of Dal Lake, the garden is divided into three parts—each designed for a specific use: the public garden (outer), the emperor’s garden (central), and the royal ladies' garden (inner). With its meticulously manicured lawns, elegant fountains, and Chinar-lined paths, Shalimar Bagh is a timeless symbol of love and artistic expression.

Shankaracharya Temple

Perched atop the Shankaracharya Hill, this ancient Hindu temple offers panoramic views of Srinagar city and the Dal Lake. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple dates back to the 9th century and is named after the great philosopher Adi Shankaracharya, who is believed to have visited the site. The temple’s serene atmosphere, coupled with its historical and spiritual significance, makes it a must-visit spot for both devotees and tourists.

Gulmarg Gondola

The Gulmarg Gondola is one of the highest cable cars in the world, transporting visitors from the picturesque meadows of Gulmarg to the breathtaking heights of Apharwat Peak. Split into two phases, the ride offers stunning views of snow-clad mountains, dense pine forests, and rolling alpine landscapes. It's a popular attraction year-round—offering access to skiing and snowboarding in winter, and trekking and panoramic views in summer.
