The Tulip Garden in Srinagar is one of Kashmir's most dazzling spring spectacles — tiered beds of tulips in every colour spread below the Zabarwan hills, overlooking Dal Lake. Among the largest tulip gardens in Asia, it bursts into bloom for only a short window in early spring, making a well-timed visit truly special. This tour builds around that bloom, pairing the tulips with the Mughal gardens, Dal Lake houseboats and the wider sights of Srinagar for a colourful, easy-paced trip that needs no permits for Indian travellers.

Why visit the Tulip Garden

The Tulip Garden is Srinagar at its most joyful — a short, brilliant burst of spring colour set against lake and mountain. It is a wonderful centrepiece for a spring trip and pairs easily with the Mughal gardens and Dal Lake. As part of India, Srinagar needs no visa or permit for Indian travellers.

When the tulips bloom

The garden opens for only a brief window in early spring, when the beds are at their most vivid.

  • Blooming is usually around early April, weather depending
  • The season is short, so timing your trip matters
  • We monitor the bloom and advise the best dates to travel

Beyond the tulips

Spring is a beautiful time across Srinagar, so the tour also takes in the Mughal gardens, a shikara ride on Dal Lake and the city's shrines and handicraft workshops, with an optional day trip to Gulmarg's meadows.

How to reach the Tulip Garden

Fly to Srinagar (SXR) — direct from Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, or one stop via Delhi from other cities. The garden sits on the lakeshore below Zabarwan hill, a short drive that we arrange as part of your package.

Best time & weather

This tour is all about early spring, when the tulips bloom for a short window around early April. Days are mild and fresh, but mornings and evenings stay cool, so carry warm layers and comfortable walking shoes for the terraced beds.

Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
