Nestled between Dal Lake and the Zabarwan Hills, Asia’s largest tulip garden in Srinagar is all set to open on March 16. This year, the garden will showcase nearly 1.8 million tulips of around 70 vibrant varieties. To make the display even more breathtaking, the density of the flowerbeds has been increased, promising a richer and more spectacular floral panorama. With many tulips already in full bloom, the garden truly resembles a mesmerising floral wonderland. &nbsp;&nbsp;“The Tulip Garden will be opened to the public from March 16 and will be inaugurated by the Chief Minister. Several improvements have been made ahead of the new season. This year, around 1.8 million tulips of more than 70 varieties have been planted. We have also introduced an online ticketing facility, and special efforts have been made to enhance the visitor experience and maintain cleanliness throughout the garden,” said Mathoora Masoom, Director of Floriculture.&nbsp;The garden was initially expected to open to the general public in the last week of March. However, due to changes in weather patterns, the decision was made to advance the opening, allowing visitors earlier access than originally planned.&nbsp;Last year, around 8.25 lakh people visited the garden to witness the colourful spectacle. This year, the Floriculture Department is expecting an even higher turnout, as the event also marks the beginning of the tourism season.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Tulip Garden has played a significant role in attracting an increasing number of tourists to the Kashmir Valley during the spring season. Authorities are hopeful that all previous visitor records will be surpassed this year.&nbsp;The Garden was made in 2008 by the then Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Ghulam Nabi Azad. And a few years ago, the garden was included in the World Book of Records (London) as Asia's largest Tulip Garden.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/jammu-police-bsf-recover-heroin-worth-rs-12-crore-near-international-border-in-drone-drop-bust-1773393353153">Jammu Police, BSF recover heroin worth Rs 12 crore near international border in drone drop bust</a> &nbsp;

Asia’s largest Tulip Garden ready to welcome visitors from March 16

Kashmir's famous tulip garden has added another&nbsp;feather to&nbsp;its cap, it has been included in the World Book of Records (London) as Asia's largest tulip garden. This is one of the biggest acknowledgements for the garden since its inception.&nbsp;

Situated at the foothills of the Zabarwan mountain range on the banks of Dal Lake, the tulip garden of Kashmir has finally been recognised as Asia's largest tulip garden and certified in the World Book of Records (London). The Department of Floriculture, Gardens and Parks was awarded the certificate by the Chairman and CEO, of the World Book of Records (London) at a function held in Srinagar.&nbsp;

The government of Jammu and Kashmir says the honour and reward are for the hard work of the gardeners, officials and casual labourers of the floriculture department who have worked day and night to make Kashmir's tulip garden one of the most attractive destinations in Srinagar.&nbsp;

''Tulip Garden Srinagar has been included in the World Book of Records as Asia's largest tulip garden, which has displayed 1.6 million tulips of 68 varieties. It has successfully attracted around 3.75 Lac visitors this year, its biggest achievement I can say. This is I should say a big recognition for the garden for UT in general and in particular for the Department of Floriculture," said Javaid Masood, who is the Floriculture Officer in charge of the Tulip Garden.&nbsp;

"This will be a major attraction as the tulip garden was a unique selling point for the tourism of Jammu and Kashmir, it has successfully preponed the tourism season of the valley. This award will go a long way in promoting the tulip garden. Our gardeners, officers, casual labourers and even our officers at higher levels are involved in this garden and our hard work has paid off," Masood added.&nbsp;

Tulip Garden Kashmir was established in 2008. For the last fifteen years everyone associated with the garden, like gardeners, officials have tried their best to make this garden one of the special attractions of Kashmir. Due to the tulip garden in Kashmir, the tourist arrivals in the valley have doubled around that time and it has also helped in extending the tourism season in the Valley.&nbsp;

This year, Asia's largest tulip garden saw more than 16 lakh tulips of 68 different varieties bloom and around 3.75 lakh people visited the garden during the one-month tulip season. It takes about 6-8 months every year for the Department of Floriculture to prepare the garden for opening to the general public.
