Kashmir Welcomes Spring Tourists A Year After Attacks

Blooming tulips are seen at the Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden in Srinagar, Indian-administered Kashmir, on April 6, 2026. Set against the Zabarwan range and overlooking Dal Lake, the garden attracts visitors from across India and abroad each spring with millions of flowers. Tourism, a key pillar of the local economy, was affected by reported incidents involving visitors in April last year, leading to increased security measures. While visitor numbers have since recovered, the region continues to balance its natural beauty with a history of instability. (Photo by Kabli Yawar/NurPhoto)
