Over 100,000 visitors visited Asia's largest Tulip Garden in Srinagar in the very first week of its opening. Located between Dal Lake and the Zabarwan hills, this year over 15 million tulips of 68 varieties have been planted in the garden. The Tulip Garden remains one of the main attractions in the Valley in the spring season.&nbsp;

The Tulip Garden in Srinagar witnessed a record number of visitors in the very first week of its opening, around 107,000 visitors visited the garden in the first seven days.&nbsp;

The garden attracted over 35,000 visitors on the third day of opening. And since the Tulips are in full bloom, it looks no less than a floral wonderland. The Tulip garden saw a record number of visitors last year with 360,000 visitors visiting the garden and the government expects that this year all previous records will be broken.&nbsp;

"I welcome you to the Tulip Garden. The numbers that I have till yesterday evening, we have crossed One lac visitor, exact number is One lac thousand approx. It's very encouraging, We are expecting that it will cross last year's numbers. We had 3.6 lac tourists visiting the garden last year which was an all-time high and this year we are very hopeful that we will surpass last year's numbers and will have many more tourists and visitors coming to see the garden," said Shayiq Rasool, who is a floriculture Officer at the Tulip Garden.&nbsp;

Around 500 gardeners and staff have worked day and night to ready the garden for the public. It takes these gardeners around six months to get the garden ready and huge planning is done much earlier before the opening of the garden.&nbsp;

"The tourists who have come here are extremely happy to see the garden, you can make out from their expressions while they are looking at the sea of colours of these tulips. It's altogether a different experience. The happiness that these tourists express is our encouragement for the hard work we have put in to make this garden. I am sure with every year; we will do better and better shows. Since the garden opened, we have had huge inflow from day one, on the third day we had a record number of around 35 thousand visitors, which is the highest so far this year," said Shayiq Rasool, another Floriculture Officer, Tulip Garden.&nbsp;

The Tulip Garden has played a major role in attracting more and more tourists to Kashmir Valley during the Spring season. And seeing the huge rush of visitors the government opens the garden much before the earlier time. It used to be open during the first week of April and now has been opened ten days earlier on March 20. The tourists are flocking to the garden in huge numbers.&nbsp;

"It's a great experience and this gives us a very Silsila movie feel. What we saw of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha in the Silsila movie, this is much better than that. It's a great experience, I have never seen such beautiful and so many colours of tulips in my life, we had only seen them on TV and now finally saw them live. Kashmir is a real Paradise, and everyone should visit the valley in Spring," said Shikha, a tourist.&nbsp;

The tourists could be seen dancing and enjoying the beautiful garden and calling it better than many flower gardens across the world.&nbsp;

It's a beauty worth watching, I have just returned from Dubai, and I saw the miracle garden, but I think our own Tulip garden is no less. They have made it so beautiful and decorated it with such hard work. I want everyone to come here and enjoy the beauty. It's much better than what we saw in the movies. This is just a great place and I want everyone to Visit it," said Harsha, a tourist.&nbsp;

The garden will be open for the whole month of April for visitors.&nbsp;

Tulip garden to open to public on March 19

With over 1.5 million tulips of 68 varieties, Asia's largest tulip garden in Srinagar, Kashmir is all set to be open for the public from March 19. Hundreds of gardeners are working tirelessly to make sure the garden is in full bloom at the time of the opening.&nbsp;

With spring on, the tulip garden located below the Zabarwan Hills and overlooking the world-famous Dal Lake, is looking no less than a floral wonderland. The floriculture department is also planning a tulip festival in the first week of April.&nbsp;

"About 16 lacs of tulips would be in bloom this season in the tulip garden. Around 68 varieties of tulips have been put up this year, And along with tulips, there are many other flowers that we are putting up. We also prepare crates from greenhouses which we make sure to bloom in greenhouses so that at the opening the visitors find tulips all around. We decorate the main gate with these crates. Around 3000 pots of flowers are prepared with a lot of hard work for the visitors," said Inam-ul-Rehman, who is in charge of the tulip garden.&nbsp;

Around 500 gardeners and staff are working day and night to ready the garden for the public. It takes around six months to get the garden ready and huge planning is done much earlier before the opening of the garden.&nbsp;

"We have been working day and night, whether it rains or snows. We are making sure to prepare the garden for the season. As you see right now also, we are working hard as the garden is days away from being thrown open. This time we have around 68 varieties and over 1.6 million tulips. We want people to visit and appreciate our hard work," said Riyaz Pathan, who is a gardener.&nbsp;

The tulip garden has become extremely famous to people across India. A lot of travellers make plans to visit the valley during the tulip bloom. This year, the floriculture department has planted other varieties of flowers like hyacinths, daffodils, muscari and cyclamens to make the garden look more colourful. However, the tourists who are already in the Valley are extremely disappointed that they would not be able to witness the beauty of the garden as it will open next week.&nbsp;

"I really miss that I can't see the garden. We came to see the glimpse but were not allowed. We are leaving on the 17th and the Garden is opening on 19 March. I still peeked in from a gap. Our children are also feeling sad that we won't be able to see it," said Suhas Mehta, who is a tourist.&nbsp;

The garden was opened in 2008 by the then-chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Ghulam Nabi Azad. The garden was made to attract more tourists to the Valley during the spring season.&nbsp;

''We have 68 varieties of Tulips this year and 1.5 million tulips, we have daffodils, hyacinths, and spring-flowering trees. We have 70 gardeners in the garden who work all through the year to make this beautiful garden. It's a lot of hard work to make beds, bulb sowing, to protect them from any disease. It's a year-long process. The initial response is great, and I am sure it's going to be a great season. We are extremely happy to host people from across. We have been approached by a lot of filmmakers to shoot their films in these gardens. We welcome them to come here and shoot the films '' said Dr Inam Ahmad, InCharge Tulip Garden.&nbsp;

The Tulip Garden in Srinagar was opened in 2007 to promote tourism in the valley. It's been the main attraction for tourists visiting the valley in the Spring season. Millions of tourists have visited the garden in the last few years. And this year the garden has been thrown open earlier than previous years to 'prepone' the spring tourist season in the Valley. The government is also planning to hold a tulip festival in the garden.&nbsp;

''From a tourism point of view Tulip Garden is an iconic place and everybody who wants to visit the tulip garden is most welcome. We have preponed our tourism season by almost a month.

In the coming days, we will be having a grand tulip festival, we will invite people from across the country to come and visit the Tulip Garden'' said GN Itoo, Director Tourism.&nbsp;

The real makers of this garden are those gardeners who work day and night for months to prepare the garden for visitors. The preparations go on for months before the garden opens to the public. Around 100 gardeners work all through the year in this garden to make it so beautiful and mesmerising.&nbsp;

''I have been working on this garden since 2002, This year we have around 1.5 million tulips and it's a lot of hard work. Our reward is when people from across the world come to see and enjoy this tulip garden. We start the whole process in November and for three months we have to keep working on it. There are around 100 gardeners in this tulip garden. Tourists coming to see this garden gives us so much happiness,'' said Mohammad Ayub, Gardener.&nbsp;

This year the garden has been made much more attractive with many other additions. More trees and shrubs have been added, along with an open-air cafeteria. The tourism department is also planning to sell various Kashmiri breads and tea in the garden. To enjoy these beautiful visuals and authentic Kashmiri food experiences, thousands of tourists have already flocked to the garden.&nbsp;
