Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden is a tulip garden in Srinagar, the capital of the state of Jammu & Kashmir, India.It is the largest tulip garden in Asia, spread over an area of about 74 acres.It is situated at the base of the Zabarwan mountain range, built on 7 terraces with an overview of the Dal Lake.The garden was opened in 2007 with the aim to boost floriculture and tourism in the Kashmir valley. About 1.75 million tulip bulbs in multiple colours were brought from Keukenhof Gardens, Amsterdam. Besides 75 varieties of tulips the garden is home to 46 varieties of other flowers including daffodils, ranunculus and hyacinths.
The rows of vibrant tulips in all shades lined with fruit and magnolia trees in blossom and the majestic mountains in the background is truly a breathtaking sight.
When we were in Kashmir barely a month back everything was peaceful and thousands of tourists from India and some from abroad were enjoying the incredible beauty of this amazing valley. Now this peace lies shattered by terrorist bullets and sadly it will be the people of Kashmir who will be the most affected. Tourism is the major industry and it will definitely receive a huge setback because of this tragic incident.
