The garden brings in flocks of tourists during the spring season when it hosts the annual tulip festival. Spread over a terraced garden, more than 60 varieties of tulips can be seen blossoming against the backdrop of the Zabarwan mountain ranges and the Dal Lake. The garden is a photographer’s paradise with millions of tulips brimming with life along the fresh breezes of spring. During the annual festival, you can also witness cultural performances with Kashmiri folk music, traditional dresses and Kashmiri art with Kashmir tour packages.
