Srinagar, March 19

As the vibrant tulip bloom transforms the landscape into a colourful paradise. Nestled in the foothills of the Tulip Garden has become a major attraction for visitors from across the country and beyond.

With rows of tulips in full bloom, stretching across vast expanses in shades of red, yellow, pink, purple, and white, the garden offers a mesmerising visual treat. Families, photographers, and nature lovers are thronging the site to capture the beauty and soak in the serene atmosphere. The pleasant spring weather has further enhanced the experience, making it an ideal time for sightseeing and outdoor activities.

Authorities have made special arrangements to manage the increasing footfall, ensuring safety, cleanliness, and convenience for all visitors. As the tulip season continues, the garden is expected to witness even higher tourist turnout, reaffirming its status as one of the most beautiful and sought-after spring destinations.

Speaking with ANI, a tourist from Jaipur said," We felt amazing to visit here. This is my first visit to Kashmir. We landed in Srinagar only last night and came to visit this garden here first thing in the morning."

Earlier on Sunday, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah shared glimpses of "Asia's largest tulip garden in Srinagar" which he said looked vibrant even before the full bloom.

He also appreciated gardeners and the Floriculture Department team for their hard work.

"Got a sneak preview of Asia's largest tulip garden in Srinagar earlier today. The garden is still 7-8 days away from its full bloom but it's already bursting with colour. The garden looks amazing. The team of gardeners have done an amazing job under the supervision of the Floriculture Department officials," Abdullah said on social media.

Affectionately known for its breathtaking vistas, the Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden boasts not only a splendid array of tulips but also provides sanctuary to an array of other flower species.

Daffodils, Hyacinths, Roses, Ranunculi, Muscaria, and Iris blooms flourish alongside the iconic tulips, creating a mesmerising tapestry of colours and fragrances that captivates visitors.

Visited last year with family. The experience was surreal. The arrangements by authorities were quite good. It's heartening to see J&K thriving with tourism again. Kudos to the gardeners for their hard work.

While the garden is beautiful, I hope the authorities are also focusing on sustainable tourism. Too much footfall can damage the fragile ecosystem. Need proper waste management plans alongside the tourist arrangements.

This is the real face of Kashmir that we need to promote - beauty, peace, and hospitality. The tulip garden is a symbol of that. More power to the tourism department and the local businesses.

My parents are there right now! They sent photos and they are just wow. They said the vibe is so positive and the garden is much bigger than they imagined. Feeling proud of this Indian destination.
