Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir): Tourists from across the country flocked to Asia’s largest tulip garden, Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden, which was thrown open to the public on Sunday (March 25). Located in the foothills of the Zabarwan hill in summer capital of Srinagar and overlooking the famous Dal lake, Tulip Garden attracts thousands of tourists from across the world every year. Visitors were left spellbound with the beautiful view of the garden and colourful Tulip flowers. They were seen enjoying with their families and clicking photographs. Reportedly, around 1.25 million tulips of 50 varieties have been planted in the garden in addition to the introduction of a hyson flower garden and water channels. Tulips are usually in full bloom in and around Srinagar during this time of the year, lending an ethereal atmosphere to the Valley, which has been dubbed by many as “Paradise on Earth”. The average life span of the tulip flower is three to four weeks but heavy rains or harsh summers can destroy them.
