Spain's almond trees bloom 18 days early

The pink and white flowers on the almond trees are no less than a floral wonderland. And the famous Almond Garden, ''Badamwari' of Srinagar city has thousands of these almond trees, which are in full bloom and all set to welcome tourists as well as locals.&nbsp;

The Gardens of the Valley are finally turning into colourful palettes with almond and cherry blossoms. And thousands of tourists are thronging the Kashmir Valley only to witness these beautiful visuals. These are the first flowers to bloom in a season and Badamwari garden located at the foothills of Kohi-Maraan mountain on 300 Kanals of land has more than 1000 almond trees.&nbsp;

''I came to know about Almond Blossoms from our local guide, they recommended this place, we didn't know that there is Japanese cherry blossom in India, and we would get to see it. We thought it would be one or two trees but it's the whole garden, It's such a beautiful spot, I think everyone would be amazed. Kashmir has been a beautiful surprise for me, We really didn't plan but since spring is a lovely time to visit and everyone here is so genuine and hospitable. We are extremely happy with our visit to the Valley,'' said Swati, a tourist.&nbsp;
