Location 1: Nishat Bagh Nishat Bagh is located on the eastern side of Dal Lake, running along its bank. The word “nishat” literally means joy hence it is also called the Garden of Bliss. The beautiful compound does justice to its name with the Zabarwan Mountains in the background, the stunning vista of the Dal lake, and the beautiful sight of tall trees and colourful flowers within the garden's various terraces. It was designed by Asaf Khan, brother of Noor Jahan, in 1633 AD. The garden is known for its 12 terraces, each representing a zodiac sign. A rectangular pool was created in the centre of the garden by bringing down a mountain spring through the help of a 15-feet high slide. Due to its scenic beauty, Nishat Bagh has often been a location for Bollywood song shoots Location 2: Shalimar Garden The Shalimar Bagh literally means "Abode of Love" and was built by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir for his lovely wife Nur Jahan. It is the largest Mughal garden of all three, stretching along an area of 31 acres on the banks of the Dal Lake. The quintessential feature of the garden is its terraced landscape, with the terraces rising above one another, lined with Chinar trees and beautiful water fountains. The excellent Mughal architecture makes it one of a kind. The water channel Shah Nahar, running from higher terrace to the lower, is a cherry on top. The layout and landscaping of the garden was inspired by the Persian "Charbagh" concept Location 3: Cheshma Shahi Chashme Shahi, the smallest of all the Mughal Gardens of Srinagar, is widely known for its terraced lawns, freshwater spring and colorful flowers. All these components add a divine and sparkling touch to the garden located at one end of the Dal Lake at the foothills of the Zabarwan mountains. The garden stretches over an area of one acre and is planted with a variety of trees including the Chinar and fruit trees. Originally built in 1632 under the supervision of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, the garden has undergone various renovations in the succeeding years. It was named by the Emperor himself after the freshwater spring, the chashma, which is highly refreshing and supposed to have mineral content. There are several fountains and waterfalls adding to the lush beauty of this garden Location 4: Shankaracharya Temple The ancient Shankaracharya temple is located in Srinagar atop Shankaracharya Hill, at a height of 1100 feet.
