Quick answer

Asia's largest tulip garden opens only in spring. In 2026 it opened on 16 March with about 18 lakh tulips of over 70 varieties, and peak bloom was roughly the first week of April; the season usually ends around mid-April. Go at opening or late afternoon, avoid peak weekends, and book tickets online where available.

What to expect

What to expect at Tulip Garden (Indira Gandhi Memorial)

Terraces of tulips run in colour bands towards the Zabarwan hills, with hyacinths and daffodils in between.

The first days after opening have fewer varieties in bloom; early April is usually fullest. Late-March snow has occasionally dusted the flowers.

It's among the busiest spots in Kashmir in season, so timing matters more than anywhere else.
