Tulip Garden in Srinagar Closes After Record-Breaking Season Asia’s largest Tulip Garden, located at the foothills of the Zabarwan range in Srinagar, has officially closed for the season after welcoming a record-breaking 8.55 lakh visitors in just 30 days.
According to data accessed by the Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden attracted a total of 8,55,125 tourists between March 26 and April 24, 2025—the highest ever footfall recorded since its inception.
Visitors from across India and abroad flocked to witness the breathtaking display of over 1.7 million blooming tulips in vibrant colors. This year’s crowd included 3,338 foreign tourists, marking a significant rise in international interest in the popular spring destination.
The highest single-day turnout was recorded on April 6, when 81,352 visitors entered the garden, followed closely by April 13, which saw 70,430 visitors. Officials say that the weekends and peak bloom days played a major role in achieving these numbers.
The garden, a major attraction of the annual tulip festival, saw over 1.56 lakh visitors in its opening week alone. The steady increase in tourist flow reflects the growing popularity of Srinagar’s tulip bloom on the global tourism map.
Authorities credit the success to better infrastructure, aggressive promotion, and favorable weather conditions. New walking paths, flower beds, and water features enhanced the overall visitor experience, encouraging more people to visit than ever before.
“This year has been phenomenal. The combination of full bloom, sunny weather, and high tourist inflow created the perfect atmosphere for record footfall,” an official from the Department of Floriculture told KNO.
