Srinagar
Explore Srinagar's magnificent trio of Mughal gardens designed by Mughal emperors — Shalimar Bagh (garden of love, built by Jahangir for Nur Jahan), Nishat Bagh (garden of bliss, 12-terraced), and Chashme Shahi (royal spring, smallest but most pristine). Each cascades down hillsides with fountains, channels, and mountain backdrops.
Visit in April–May during Tulip Festival when the gardens are in full bloom, or in October for vibrant autumn foliage.
