Song of Spring
A typical spring in kashmir is a pleasant season when the things suddenly come to life after a long winters. A new hope of life arises with the sun glimmering through the dusky clouds and snow covered peaks. Spring here can't be portrayed in words it is only actions and images of nature. the rich smell of roses which bloom in different shades throughout summers or the flight of a bulbul bird drapes among the leaves of Chinaar to escape from the cold showers. The blooming buds of flowers awake on the roar of a thunder.Flower Mughal Gardens Of Kashmir
Since earlier days of my life i have been attracted by flower gardens, I remind the time going picnic with my school or a family excursion to a near by garden. Living in Srinagar kashmir there is no dearth of lovely gardens. Immaculate flowers adorning the boundaries of the carpeted garden, When in youth I and my friends skipped the school and found our ways to the garden, so i could say i have many attachments to the gardens of kashmir. The first garden i will take you today is nishat garden.. It is called baghi nishat by the locals. Everyone can visit it from morning till evening, there is only a small entrance fess applicable. while entering the garden a traveler is greeted with different range of flowers, and canals of water are flowing swiftly under the chinar trees. one could see lots of fruit trees in this garden mostly peach, plum etc. It is a terraced garden each terrace with different design of flower beds or depicting twelve patterns of zodiac.Shikara's in the Lake
these wooden canopy boats ferry tourists across the lake to houseboats, a shikara ride is a very nice experience to enjoy culture and lifestyle of the people living on the lake.
