Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip garden,the largest Tulip garden of Asia spread over an area of about 12 hectares. I had always heard of Netherlands Tulip Garden but was never aware of Srinagar to be the largest Tulip Garden in Asia! It is located in the foothills of the Zabarwan mountains with an overview of picturesque world famous Dal Lake. You can see over 100 varieties of tulips in various hues.
