Harmukh mountains
and
mountains of Mahadev
. It is also the gateway for
Dachigam National Park

The water channels flowing in the middle of the garden are so peaceful, to put your feet inside it. All of your anxiety and tiredness will get removed by the cool breeze and the cold water flowing through the streams.
