Look. If you’ve got Kashmir pinned to “tulips in spring, snow in winter,” scrap it. Autumn’s got something new now. Something big. Srinagar’s chrysanthemum garden — Bagh-e-Gul-e-Dawood, if you want to call it by name — kicked off its 2026 season on Friday, 23 October 2026. Aur honestly? The pictures are unreal. Just unreal.
