"Palace of the Princess"
Achabal Gardens, Srinagar Overview
Achabal Gardens, in the town of Achabal in Anantnag district, is a Mughal-era garden known as 'the place of the princess'. Smaller than Srinagar's main Mughal gardens, it's a quieter stop for those exploring the Kashmir Valley's Mughal-era heritage.
Built around 1620 A.D. by the artistic hands of Mughal Emperor Jahangir's wife, Nur Jahan, the garden underwent a remodel between 1634-1640 A.D. by Jahanara, the daughter of Shah Jahan. Though subsequent decay befell the garden, it was resiliently revived on a smaller scale by Gulab Singh, transforming it into a public oasis that continues to captivate visitors.
Achabal Gardens boasts a unique allure with its main feature being a cascading waterfall gracefully descending into a serene pool. The surrounding landscape is adorned with rows of majestic Chinar trees, offering a picturesque backdrop to the garden's symphony of terraced steps, fountains, and vibrant flowers. Resting at the foot of a Himalayan hill, the garden spans an area of 6.20 hectares, creating an oasis of tranquility.
