Achabal Gardens, Mughal garden in Achabal, Kashmir, India

Achabal Gardens is a Mughal garden with terraced levels and natural springs that feed waterfalls into a series of pools. The site is surrounded by towering trees and features carefully planned pathways and water systems throughout.

The gardens were created in 1620 by Nur Jahan, wife of Emperor Jahangir. Emperor Shah Jahan's daughter later oversaw major changes that shaped how the site looks today.

The garden shows Persian-inspired design with its orderly water channels and stone pathways that reflect royal tastes. Its layout demonstrates principles that rulers of that time valued for their palaces and estates.

The gardens are open throughout the year and visitors can access the natural springs and landscaped areas. Wear comfortable shoes since the terrain is terraced and you will walk on different levels.

An underground passage links the main spring of the garden to the Bringhi River, confirmed when items dropped into the river appeared at the garden's water source. This hidden water connection reveals how cleverly the site's water system was engineered.
