Kashmir, 9/4: Asia’s largest Tulip garden in Srinagar is in full bloom these days with over 2.50 lakh tourists including, domestic as well as the foreigners, stopping by to witness its breathtaking beauty since it opened 20 days ago.
Situated at an altitude of 5,600 feet and ensconced between the famous Dal Lake and Zabarwan Hills, the Tulip Garden, presents a colourful look with 1.6 million tulip bulbs of different hues and 68 varieties in bloom
The Garden was thrown open for the people on March 20 this year. However, as the holy month of Ramazan started just three days later, the rush of locals decreased though domestic and foreign tourists continue to get enthralled by the beauty of the Garden.
Floriculture officer Shayiq Rasool only 150 foreign tourists visited the Garden last year while this year the number has crossed 1250. “Over 51000 locals and nearly two lakh domestic tourist arrivals have been recorded at the Tulip garden this year so far,” he added
