Nishat Bagh (Srinagar)
Nishat Bagh, also known as the "Garden of Joy," is the second-largest Mughal garden in Kashmir. Overlooking the serene Dal Lake and set against the backdrop of the majestic Zabarwan Mountains, the garden is a stunning 12-terraced paradise filled with vibrant flowers, cascading fountains, and ancient chinar trees. Built in 1633 by Asif Khan, brother-in-law of Emperor Jahangir, Nishat Bagh offers mesmerizing views and a peaceful escape into nature and history.
Shalimar Bagh (Srinagar)
Shalimar Bagh, meaning "Abode of Love," is a masterpiece of Mughal landscaping created by Emperor Jahangir for his beloved wife, Nur Jahan. Located on the banks of Dal Lake, this garden is known for its symmetrical layout, flowing canals, and finely manicured lawns surrounded by majestic chinar trees. The three-tiered garden, with its Persian-style architecture and natural beauty, reflects Mughal elegance at its finest.
Shankaracharya Temple (Srinagar)
Perched on Shankaracharya Hill at an altitude of 1,000 feet above Srinagar, the Shankaracharya Temple is a sacred Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. Believed to be one of the oldest temples in the valley, it offers not only spiritual solace but also panoramic views of the city and Dal Lake. The temple is associated with the visit of Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century and is an important pilgrimage site.
Chashme Shahi Garden (Srinagar)
Chashme Shahi, or "Royal Spring," is a charming Mughal garden built in 1632 by Ali Mardan Khan for Emperor Shah Jahan. The garden is famed for its natural spring, believed to have medicinal properties. Nestled on the slopes of the Zabarwan hills, the garden features terraced lawns, sparkling fountains, and colorful flower beds, offering a serene and rejuvenating experience.
Thajiwas Glacier (Sonamarg)
Located just a short trek from Sonamarg, the Thajiwas Glacier is a spectacular natural wonder surrounded by towering snow-capped peaks and alpine meadows. Accessible by pony ride or a scenic hike, this glacier remains snow-clad for most of the year and is a favorite spot for snow activities, photography, and simply soaking in the untouched beauty of Kashmir's landscape.
Gulmarg Gondola (Gulmarg)
The Gulmarg Gondola is one of the world’s highest cable cars, transporting visitors from Gulmarg to the slopes of Mount Apharwat. Divided into two phases, the ride offers breathtaking aerial views of snow-draped mountains, pine forests, and lush valleys. A must-do for adventure lovers and nature enthusiasts, the gondola also serves as a gateway to skiing, snowboarding, and trekking experiences in the Himalayas.
