The tulip bloom typically occurs in March and April, marking the arrival of spring in Srinagar. The sight of the colorful tulip fields during this time is a major attraction, drawing tourists from around the world. However, as stunning as the tulips are, their season is relatively short-lived, creating a gap in the tourism calendar as we move from spring into the colder months. The challenge, therefore, lies in how we can bridge this seasonal gap and maintain the flow of visitors even as the weather shifts and winter approaches. While the tulip season is a symbol of spring, we need to find ways to keep the garden experience alive as we move into the autumn months. One promising idea is to develop a Chrysanthemum Garden, which could serve as a natural extension to the tulip season. Chrysanthemums bloom in late autumn, around October and November, providing an attractive alternative during the traditionally quieter months. This would help fill the void left after the tulips have faded, offering tourists another beautiful flower garden to explore during the off-season. By creating such a garden, we not only extend the tourism season but also diversify the region’s attractions. Just as the tulips have transformed Srinagar’s spring tourism, chrysanthemums could do the same for the autumn months. This would allow the region to offer unique floral experiences year-round, supporting both the local economy and the broader tourism industry. I am hopeful that, with continued investment and collaboration from the Parks and Gardens Department and other stakeholders, we can make this vision a reality and truly extend the charm of Srinagar beyond its brief tulip season.
