&ldquo;This was one of the first festivals that we organised, and we are planning many such festivals. To welcome the season, we will organise festivals in Yusmarg and many other places. The hotels in Srinagar, Gulmarg, and Pahalgam are fully occupied, and around 54 flights are coming, and all are packed. Most of these flights are full of tourists. We are also getting 200-300 foreign tourists daily as well, and we are getting a big group of women from New Zealand as well,&rdquo; said Raja Yaqoob Farooq, Director of Tourism, Kashmir.
A huge number of locals as well as the tourists are arriving at the Almond Garden. The social media sites are already filled with pictures of the Badamwari. The government is hoping that all the previous records of tourist arrivals would be broken this spring. The tourists already in the valley are enjoying the view of the bloom.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a very nice place, and it&rsquo;s very unique. We had seen it in the paper and media only. After coming here, it&rsquo;s very nice, and it&rsquo;s worth seeing. It&rsquo;s one of the best places, and one should see it for sure,&rdquo; said Ravi, a tourist.&nbsp;
The tourism department of Kashmir is planning to celebrate the full spring season across the various gardens of the Srinagar City. The people who are visiting are mesmerised with the views of these blooms.
&ldquo;I am so excited to be here, we don&rsquo;t see these flowers in Hyderabad, so I am loving it here. It&rsquo;s very beautiful and very exciting to see the tulips. We decided to come during the season only,&rdquo; said Jahnvi, a tourist.&nbsp;
