Specialist Garden Visit

So beloved was this distant land by the Mughal Emperors that they came here to unwind in the loveliness and tranquilly of the valley. These men were powerful and fearless: yet full of passion for beauty. They were inspired by the mountains and the Dal Lake to create a Paradise on Earth. Today visitors and locals can still walk in the fabled gardens - Shalimar, Chesmashahi and Nishat - filled with cascading tinkling fountains, flowerbeds ablaze with colour and crowned by the waters of the Dal Lake.
Travelcare offers lovers of nature memorable tours to wander these magnificent gardens guided by a local specialist. Outings will also be arranged to Gulmarg - The Meadow of Flowers
