This year winter is delayed in Kashmir by almost a month. So, in this spring season we have witnessed the beauty of flowers at the valley and snow in the adjacent mountains.
Kashmir is blessed with Asia's biggest Tulip Garden which is located at foothills of Zabarwan ranges of Himalayas and named after India's renounced Prime minister Late Indira Gandhi. Every year this garden is kept open for visitors when flowers bloom. Earlier it was April 01-30. Now, due to climate change this flowering season begins March last week and lasted for a month. This year the garden opened on March 23, 2024.
