Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden, Terraced garden in Srinagar, India

The Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden is a terraced garden located at the base of the Zabarwan mountains in Srinagar that spans approximately 30 hectares across seven levels. Millions of colorful tulips grow here in organized rows, with additional flowering plants like hyacinths and daffodils interspersed throughout the tiered landscape.

This site was established in 2007 under the original name Siraj Bagh and received approximately 1.7 million tulip bulbs imported from Keukenhof gardens in Amsterdam at that time. The massive planting effort created what would become the largest tulip garden in Asia.

The garden is named after Indira Gandhi; it was formerly called Siraj Bagh and before that Model Floriculture Center. Each spring the government of Jammu and Kashmir holds the annual Tulip Festival here, showing the tulips alongside 46 other flower types such as hyacinths, daffodils and ranunculus. In 2023 the garden drew 365,000 visitors in one month, among them 3,000 from abroad.

The best time to visit is spring when the flowers are in full bloom and the park opens widely to visitors. Guided tours are available if you want to learn about the plant varieties and the garden's design, and there is plenty of space for walking across the different levels.

The garden opened in 2007 on ground formerly called Siraj Bagh, and its first planting was about 1.75 million tulip bulbs brought from the Keukenhof gardens in Amsterdam. It now holds around 70 to 75 tulip varieties, alongside 46 other flower types such as hyacinths, daffodils and ranunculus, also from Holland.
