 The Shahi Chashma This Water Spring, which can be seen from the entrance itself, is the largest of the three and the most charming. The water of this Chashma is said to have medicinal properties. You can have a fill from here! |
 The Garden As you enter the Garden the sound of water flowing will attract you. Rows and columns of beautiful and colorful flowers lined up all around the Chashme Shahi make a beautiful landscape. There are three Chasmes (Springs) in the Chasme Shahi. The biggest one is at the entrance, the other two small ones seem to be at the adjacent sides of the main Spring. There whole of the area has been made out of rock cut stones, layered to give a perfect symmetry. There used to be a time when they had the dance and light show in the evenings. The sounds of the thump of the feet of the King and the Queen with their actions, using light music at the background were played. It used to be the best part of the Chashme Shahi. They still have it sometimes, but one has to enquire about it. The whole of the Chashme Shahi Garden is a live and rare combination of rocks, Kashmiri and Mughal architecture. The combination of Red and Green with the flowers in the background and around, makes it more splendid. Running down the stairs, or sitting on the stone laid before the Chasma, or simply looking at the beautiful flowers or taking a stride in the lawns of the Chashme Shahi, is all that adds magic to the visit to the Chashme Shahi Garden. Around the Garden »Shalimar and Nishat Gardens : Just like the Chashme Shahi Garden, the Shalimar and Nishat Gardens are also the most famous ones of Srinagar. The combination of Natural Beauty with flowers and scenric beauty is what makes it beautiful. » Dal Lake : If you have been to Dal Lake then you have not been to Srinagar. The Lotus, Shikaras and the Houseboats are the charm of the Dal Lake. Staying in houseboats for a day or two or for months ( if you wish so), is one of the most happening things to do in Dal Lake. A boat ride is the must do thing in Dal Lake. » Gulmarg : Once the favorite place of Filmstars and Directors, this valley still holds it age old charms and attractions. Once you are here, you feel like being just next to heaven. »Shankracharya Temple : Of all those who are religious and even those who are not religious, they should visit this place for its holiness and the simplicity which it endorses.
