Harwan

In the district of in Srinagar Harwan Garden is situated. Harwan is a huge garden with a beautiful canal passing through its heart. Lined with flowerbeds and massive Chinar Trees, the canal is fed from a beautiful lake, which lies just behind the garden.



The main attraction of this garden is that it does not have the usual terraces, artificial fountains, etc, like the other gardens of Kashmir.


It has been deliberately kept devoid of these man-made things. Purposefully kept devoid of fanciful things and artificial fountains, the abundant natural beauty of the place complete with vast big green-carpeted lawns, makes it an ideal spot for picnics and excursions.



Harwan is the perfect place to take long walks in the lap of nature. It also serves as a take-off point for visiting Dachi Gam Wild life sanctuary and a starting point of a Mahadev Mountain trek.
