Achabal, Mughal garden complex in Anantnag district, India.

The Achabal Gardens feature terraced lawns, water channels, and flowering plants spread across multiple levels at an elevation of 1936 meters.

Emperor Jahangir commissioned these gardens in the 17th century, while his wife Malika Noor Jehan Begum developed the upper section called Bag-e-Begum Abad in 1616.

The gardens incorporate traditional Kashmiri architectural elements with Mughal design principles, displaying water features and geometric patterns throughout the space.

Visitors can reach Achabal by taking an 8-kilometer drive from Anantnag city, with regular transportation services available throughout the day.

The site houses a trout hatchery next to the gardens, combining fish cultivation with historical architecture in an elevated mountain setting.
