A First-Timer’s Guide to the Mughal Gardens of Srinagar

Srinagar’s Mughal gardens are built in terraces with fountains, chinar trees and views over Dal Lake. Here is how to plan a relaxed visit.

Good to know

Go early or late in the day for softer light and fewer people.
Shalimar Bagh and Nishat Bagh sit on the same road, so you can see both in one outing.
Wear comfortable shoes; the terraces involve gentle walking.

Spring and autumn are especially beautiful, with flowers in bloom or chinar leaves turning gold. Ask our front desk to arrange a taxi for the day.
