The palace of fairies gives you some of the most stunning views
Pari Mahal is another tourist destination in Srinagar that has some very interesting history associated as per the locals. As I stated in my last post, we went there from Cheshma Shahi Garden - only a five-minute drive from there. Even though we were hungy our main tour organizer wanted to meet us there and guide us. It does not take a lot of time, a hour would suffice to cover the entire place. The story that he told was quite interesting as well as scary. As per him the place is known for mythical sightings even today - the soul of princesses who were taken illegaly and kept there and tortured roam around even today. That is the reason, no one goes there after evening. Things have changed a lot but locals still believe in this theory.
The palace of fairies has seven-terraced garden structure and nothing much to offer except some stunning views of Srinagar as you can see. The structures provide a glimpse of Islamic architecture though. It is now served as a venue for Indian Paramilitary camp - may be because the faries would either love them or fear them. After finishing here, our next destination was the Tulip Garden, the most sought after place in Srinagar as this is the only Tulip garden in India and you don't get them anywhere else. We did a little mistake - more to come on that.
This post will be part of Google review - a little hive marketing that I would encourage everyone to do.
