Achabal Gardens, Mughal garden in Achabal, Kashmir, India

The terraced garden spreads across 1,952 square meters with natural springs that create waterfalls flowing into multiple pools surrounded by deodars trees.

Nur Jahan, wife of Emperor Jahangir, established this garden in 1620, which Jahanara, daughter of Shah Jahan, later modified between 1634 and 1640.

The garden layout follows Persian-inspired Mughal architecture principles with symmetrical water channels, stone pathways, and structured terraces reflecting royal landscaping traditions.

The garden remains open to visitors throughout the year, offering direct access to natural springs and designated areas for walking among the landscaped grounds.

The main spring connects to River Bringhi through underground passages, proven when materials dropped into the river emerged at the garden's water source.
