At a distance of 16 km from Srinagar Bus Station, Harwan Garden is a beautiful garden located in Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir. Situated at Harwan village, it is one of the best Srinagar sightseeing places.

Set against the backdrop of majestic snowy mountains, Harwan Garden is a picturesque natural garden known for its natural beauty. A channel from the neighboring dam (Dachigam Nallah) passes through the middle of the garden flanked by an age-old Chinar tree on one side. The garden has a neat and clean concrete pathway with arched gates. There are climbing roses that adorn the arched gates and eventually enhanced the beauty of the garden. The attractive flower beds all around the garden can captivate the soul of the visitors.

Unlike the Mughal Gardens of Kashmir, the Harwan Garden doesn't have any exquisitely designed terraces and beautiful fountains. However, it relies on its pure natural beauty and mesmerizing charm to attract tourists. Its sprawling lush green lawns, blossoming flowerbeds, and tall chinar trees make it one of the prime picnic spots in Srinagar. The Harwan Garden is also considered the gateway to the Dachigam National Park. This place is also the base point for trekkers going to the Mahadev Mountain peak.
