Their hard work and dedication ensure that the tulips bloom in all their glory.Planting began on November 15th, and thanks to favorable weather, everything is on schedule. The garden is likely to open its doors anytime after March 20th, 2024, depending on the temperature.

The Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden, nestled in the picturesque foothills of the Zabarwan range, is not just a garden; it’s a masterpiece of nature and human ingenuity. Its terraced slopes, overlooking the serene Dal Lake, create a breathtaking panorama that enchants visitors from all corners of the globe.
