Asia’s Largest Chrysanthemum Garden Opens: Kashmir’s Biggest Tourism Achievement Blooms!

There’s a new reason to visit Srinagar this autumn, and it smells faintly of honey, earth, and joy. The Chrysanthemum Garden, freshly opened inside the Nehru Memorial Botanical Garden Srinagar, is painting Kashmir in shades of gold, pink, and purple. Spread across more than 100 kanals, this isn’t your average flower patch; it’s Asia’s Largest Chrysanthemum Garden, a living kaleidoscope that makes you stop mid-scroll, mid-step, mid-everything.

The best way to hop into a world of flowers is to secure cheap flights to Srinagar, and within a couple of hours, you’ll be breathing crisp mountain air and floral perfume all at once.

Inside the Chrysanthemum Wonderland

Locally known as Bagh-e-Gul-e-Dawood, the garden bursts with over 60 varieties of chrysanthemums, ranging from buttery yellows to moody purples and snowy whites. Officials say there are close to three million blooms this year, arranged in symmetrical beds, vertical installations, and floral arches that feel straight out of a wedding dreamscape.

The scent? A mix of fresh tea, honey, and a dash of spice when the wind rustles through. Reserve the best hotels in Kashmir right beside the garden so the blossoming flowers greet you every minute.

More Than Just Pretty Petals

This whole floral spectacle isn’t just for Instagram. It’s a smart move by the local authorities to stretch the region’s tourist season beyond spring. Usually, the famous Tulip Garden steals the spotlight between March and April, but now, the Chrysanthemum Garden Kashmir keeps the valley vibrant right through autumn.

The project also holds a deeper meaning for Kashmir tourism. By adding an attraction that blooms later in the year, the region can host more travellers year-round, strengthening small businesses, from shikara operators to café owners. Locals say the Kashmir tourism economic impact has already been positive; visitors are staying longer, spending more, and discovering new corners of the valley with all-inclusive Kashmir tour packages.  The locals are expecting a profit of 500-700 million, as the Chrysanthemum Garden will attract 2 to 3 million visitors more than usual.

Best Time to Visit

Late October to mid-November is peak bloom season, when the valley’s chill feels refreshing rather than frosty, and the flowers are at their brightest. Early mornings are the best for quiet strolls; afternoons tend to get busier with tour groups.

If you want to catch the famous Kashmir Tulip Garden in full bloom, you must visit in the spring season between March and mid-April. In 2025, the Tulip Gardens invited a crowd of over 8.55 lakh people!
