BOTANICAL GARDEN
"Srinagar’s Vast Green Sanctuary"
Located right next to the famous Tulip Garden, the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Botanical Garden is a sprawling 80-hectare park designed for those who love serenity and science. While the Mughal gardens focus on history, the Botanical Garden focuses on Biodiversity, housing hundreds of species of rare plants, flowers, and majestic trees.
Highlights of the Garden
- The Central Lake: A beautiful, calm lake where visitors can enjoy paddle boating in a peaceful environment.
- Greenhouses: Discover a variety of indoor plants and exotic orchids maintained in a controlled climate.
- Oak & Cedar Groves: The garden features large areas dedicated to Kashmir's native trees, perfect for a long, quiet walk.
Pro-Tip: Because of its massive size, this is the best place in Srinagar for a family picnic. It is much less crowded than the neighboring Tulip Garden during peak season.
