Tulip Festival

This festival is held in the month of Spring, the busiest season for gardeners, the most beautiful, and most colorful, of all seasons. It’s in this season of Spring when Kashmir is at its most picturesque. 

Spring is the season for flowering Tulips. Tulip festival is held annually at Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden, Siraj Bagh Cheshmashahi , Srinagar, Kashmir, which is the home to Asia's largest tulip garden.  The Garden is located in the foothills of Zabarwan range, overlooking the legendary Dal Lake. Many varieties of Tulips are grown in the garden which spreads over 5 hectares of land.

The sprawling Tulips in full bloom with speckled colours are a charismatic, arresting and a memorable sight.

Along with this scenic beauty, the festival also treats its visitors with cultural programs, Kashmiri folk songs, sale of local handicrafts, and a taste of traditional Kashmiri cuisine.

Festival date 2011: 5^th of April to 15^th of April (tentative).
