DAY 109 - NISHAT

109) FRIDAY, 14 OCTOBER 1977 : 0KMS. - NISHAT
 


We visited a public parks built in the Mughal / Moghul era, called Nishat Garden. There are plenty of beautiful roses growing. Then there are the traditional flowers such as marigold, zinnia amaranth and catchy Dahlia (Dahlia).

Nishat Bagh

The brother of Mughal Empress Nur Jehan, Asif Khan laid the Garden in Srinagar in 1633. Set on the banks of world famous Dal Lake, in the backdrop of Zabarwan hills, this terraced garden offers some magnificent views of the lake.

The Garden has a beautiful water channel flowing right through its middle. Not a minute in the garden can be dull with its gorgeous Shikara rides up to the Nehru Park from here. The favorite picnic spot of the natives, a long walk amidst the lush greenery of this well-planned Garden refreshes oneself. There are also some shopping stalls opposite the garden.
