Discover the most famous botanical garden in Jammu and Kashmir as you visit the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Botanical Garden with Srinagar honeymoon packages. The attraction, which dates to 1969 and opened to visitors in 1987, is Srinagar’s newest and one of its lesser-known gardens. The Nehru Garden is unique as it not only lets you admire flowers and plants but also learn more about them through educational tours.

This botanical garden is spread across 80 hectares near the iconic Dal Lake and is lined with flower beds and lush green shrubs. Situated in the foothills of Srinagar’s Zabarwan mountain, the garden is divided into four zones and several mini gardens. Across these spaces, you can see over 150,000 ornamental plants, 50 species of trees, a greenhouse full of Himalayan orchids, and an oak forest. With over 300 species of flora, a stunning lake, beautiful pathways, waterfalls, and a children’s play area, the garden has something for everyone.
