3 Mughal Gardens you can’t miss in Srinagar

With terraced lawns, cascading fountains, bright flowerbeds, and panoramic views of the vast Dal Lake, the three Mughal gardens of Chesmashahi, Nishat and Shalimar were constructed back in the day for the pleasure of the Mughal emperors. These are also possibly the most well-maintained and litter-free gardens which you’ll find anywhere in the country. Plastics are prohibited and if you insist in taking any inside then you’ll be required to furnish a refundable deposit at the entrance. The best time to go is in the spring, when the flowers are in bloom, although the Mughal-era monuments within the gardens are worth exploring at any time.
