Badamwari Garden in Srinagar Draws Thousands Amid Stunning Almond Blossom Bloom

With the arrival of spring in Kashmir, Badamwari Garden—locally known as Badam Vaer—has once again become a magnet for tourists and nature lovers. Located at the base of Hari Parbat Fort in Srinagar, the garden is currently in full bloom, with almond trees creating a spectacular floral display that marks the beginning of the valley’s spring season.

Almond Blossoms Welcome Tourists and Locals Alike

The garden’s almond trees, among the first to flower in Kashmir, bloom between mid-March and mid-April. This period sees Badamwari enveloped in a gentle fragrance and vibrant colors, turning it into one of the most visited spots in Srinagar. Tourists and photographers from across the country are seen capturing the breathtaking views and spending time in the garden’s peaceful surroundings.

Located Amid Heritage and Serenity

Situated close to important cultural landmarks such as the Hazrat Makhdoom Sahib shrine and Gurdwara Chatti Padshahi, Badamwari offers not only natural beauty but also a sense of historical and spiritual richness. The proximity of these sites makes it a popular stop for both tourists and residents seeking a tranquil retreat during spring.

Floriculture Department’s New Enhancements

Recognising its growing popularity, the Department of Floriculture has initiated development work to enhance the garden’s charm. Thousands of lavender trees have recently been planted along the garden’s upper sections. The department also plans to convert the area into a themed garden, further promoting the site as a must-visit spring destination in Kashmir.

Officials believe that the addition of new flower varieties will offer a multi-sensory experience, combining sight and fragrance, and contribute to boosting tourism in Srinagar.

Spring in Kashmir: A Visual and Emotional Delight

Spring in Kashmir is widely regarded as one of the most captivating seasons, with landscapes turning lush and vibrant. Badamwari Garden exemplifies this beauty, providing a picture-perfect backdrop of almond blossoms, historic architecture, and serene pathways.

Visitors have described the experience as peaceful and rejuvenating, particularly during the early morning hours when the garden is less crowded. For those seeking solace or a break from urban life, Badam Vaer serves as an ideal escape.
