THE EARLY BLOOM OF FLOWERS ON ALMOND TREES IN THE SPRAWLING HISTORIC BADAMWARI GARDEN IN SHAHR-E-KHAAS HAS BECOME A SOURCE OF ATTRACTION FOR NATURE LOVERS AND TOURISTS, ALIKE. SITUATED ON FOOTHILLS OF HARI PARBAT, THE 300 KANALS GARDEN WAS DOTTED WITH TREES, FLOWERS AND CASCADES PROVIDING A SOOTHING EXPERIENCE TO THE VISITORS.
Historians maintain there was no record to suggest who laid the garden but they say it existed even before the rule of Sultan Zain-ul-Abidin in the 14th century. A well-covered dome in the garden is named after an Afghan ruler, Warris Khan. The bloom on the Almond trees heralded the spring and marked the New Year for Kashmiris. But with the passage of time, particularly during the past three decades, it has lost its glory. As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility and Heritage Trust, the garden was revived by the JK Bank and formally thrown open for public in 2008.
