Nishat Bagh, the "Garden of Bliss," is a splendid Mughal garden situated on the eastern bank of Dal Lake. Known for its terraced design, the garden beautifully blends Persian influences with Kashmiri aesthetics. Built in 1633 by Asif Khan, the brother-in-law of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, Nishat Bagh is the second-largest Mughal garden in Kashmir, following Shalimar Bagh.

The garden’s cascading terraces, divided into 12 levels representing the zodiac signs, create a mesmerizing effect as they lead down to Dal Lake. From every angle, you’re greeted with sweeping views of the Zabarwan mountain range and the sparkling waters of the lake, making it a serene retreat for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike. To explore this and other breathtaking sites, you can consider Kashmir tour packages that offer a glimpse into the region’s natural beauty and rich history. A must-visit gem with your Srinagar tour package, Nishat Bagh offers a perfect blend of history, nature, and peace. As one of the top places to visit in Srinagar, this Mughal-era garden is a delightful stop amid the city's rich heritage, which also includes the majestic Shalimar Bagh, the enchanting Shankaracharya Temple, and the bustling Lal Chowk.
