SRINAGAR: Srinagar Traffic Police has issued a traffic advisory for the Tulip Festival 2025, which will begin on 26 March. With a large number of tourists and locals expected to visit Asia’s largest Tulip Garden and nearby attractions, particularly after Eid-ul-Fitr, one-way traffic regulations will be in place on holidays to manage congestion.
Visitors to the Tulip Garden are advised to take the Lal Chowk-Dalgate-Boulevard/Gupkar Road route to reach the venue and return via Nishat-Foreshore-Habak-Dargah-Khanyar. Motorists traveling from Harwan, Shalimar, Nishat, and adjacent areas towards Lal Chowk are requested to use the Foreshore-Hazratbal route instead of the Nishat-Boulevard axis. Those coming from Gulab Bagh, Zakoora, Naseembagh, Habbak, and nearby areas should take the 90 Feet Road and Ali Jan Road to reach Lal Chowk instead of the Foreshore Road.
Visitors must park their vehicles only in designated areas, including Botanical Garden, Gulistan News, and open land at Karpora/LCMA Parking at Nishat. Vehicles parked improperly will be fined and towed. Emergency vehicles will be permitted to take the shortest route. One-way traffic regulations will be enforced from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
