This historic garden is not in good condition. The government should undertake the responsibility for these type of historical memory. In good condition they can attract visitors.

In reply to sameer. Thank you for the link. I look forward to reading that Gulmarg Palace is being repaired! At present the webpage is 'under construction'.

No..as far as i remember the damage is from the wind storm….i believe their may be some information on the state of the gardens available on our website: heritageofkashmir.org, but then i am not too sure …its not updated regularly.

In reply to sameer. Thank you for the information. I am glad to hear it. Has the tree now been removed, and has the tree in the second photo been there for longer than one year?

…The incident with the tree was a result of a freakish windstorm we had this year which if i remember it correctly lasted for more then 48 hours..never witnessed such a phenomenon here ever before.Some conservation work on the built structures and the water bodies has started in the gardens which are also now on the tentative list of UNESCOs’ world heritage site……….in case you need any info plz feel free to ask
