Imagine standing in a valley painted with 1.7 million tulips—a riot of red, yellow, pink, purple, and white dancing in the spring breeze. Welcome to the Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden in Srinagar, a floral paradise perched on the banks of the dreamy Dal Lake, nestled beneath the majestic Zabarwan Hills.

This isn’t just a garden—it’s a once-a-year spectacle. Recognised by the World Book of Records as Asia’s largest tulip garden, this 30-hectare marvel is spread across seven terraced levels and currently showcases 74 dazzling tulip varieties—two more than last year. The view? Nothing short of breathtaking.

And the buzz is real. On April 6, 2025, the garden broke all records, drawing an unprecedented 81,452 visitors in a single day—the highest in its history. Within just the first 15 days of the Tulip Show 2025, it has already smashed last year’s total footfall of 4.46 lakh!

But here’s the catch: the garden is open only till April 20. So if you haven’t witnessed this vibrant floral festival yet, now’s the time to plan your visit.

But there’s more than tulips here. Blooming daffodils, hyacinths, muscari, and flowering trees fill the air with scent and colour, making this a multisensory spring celebration.

Whether you're a shutterbug, a flower fanatic, or just someone craving beauty after a long winter, Srinagar’s tulip garden is your front-row ticket to nature’s grandest performance. Don’t just visit—lose yourself in the bloom.
