Kashmir, often called “Paradise on Earth,” is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and vibrant gardens. Adding a new jewel to its crown, the upcoming Bagh-e-Gul-e-Dawood (Chrysanthemum Theme Garden) in Srinagar promises to be a floral haven that will captivate tourists and nature lovers alike. Scheduled to open in autumn 2025, the garden is expected to become a major attraction, offering a dazzling display of chrysanthemum blooms against Kashmir’s serene beauty.
A Unique Concept for Kashmir’s Tourism
The Bagh-e-Gul-e-Dawood is not just another garden—a themed celebration of chrysanthemums, a flower that symbolizes joy, longevity, and rejuvenation. With its vibrant blooms in shades of yellow, white, pink, and purple, this garden aims to bring late autumn to life in a region already famous for its natural splendor.
Situated strategically in Srinagar, the garden will add diversity to Kashmir’s tourism offerings. While the tulips of spring and the saffron fields of Pampore dominate the tourist calendar, the chrysanthemum garden seeks to extend the peak tourist season by highlighting the beauty of Kashmir in late autumn.
The opening of Bagh-e-Gul-e-Dawood marks a significant milestone in Kashmir’s tourism story. It is expected to attract domestic and international visitors, creating opportunities for local businesses, artisans, and hospitality providers. The garden will also provide a platform for floriculture experts and enthusiasts to showcase their skills, boosting the region’s horticultural reputation.
Late Autumn: A Season to Celebrate
Traditionally, late autumn in Kashmir has been a quieter season for tourism, with visitors typically drawn to spring blooms or winter snow. Bagh-e-Gul-e-Dawood aims to change this narrative by presenting autumn as a time of vibrant celebration. As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp, the garden will offer a warm and colorful contrast, inviting travelers to experience the magic of a Kashmiri autumn.
Bagh-e-Gul-e-Dawood to open its gates in 2025
As the Bagh-e-Gul-e-Dawood prepares to open its gates in 2025, it is set to redefine how autumn is experienced in Kashmir. For those planning a trip to Srinagar, this chrysanthemum wonderland will undoubtedly be a must-visit destination. With its promise of unparalleled beauty and cultural richness, the garden is poised to become a symbol of Kashmir’s evolving tourism landscape—one bloom at a time.
Mark your calendars for autumn 2025, and get ready to witness a floral spectacle like no other at Bagh-e-Gul-e-Dawood. Kashmir awaits, in all its blooming glory!
