Unforgettable Kashmir 5 - Beautiful Achabal Mughal Garden

DAY 2 in Kashmir (Thursday, Nov 6, 2015)

Dah baca N3 yang lalu? Kalau belum sila lah singgah  H E R E ok. tak nak baca, layan je lah gambar kami yang bersuka ria tu.

Anyway, selepas melawat ladang saffron yang tak berapa nak ada tu, kami meneruskan perjalanan.. i pun sebenarnya tak mencatat waktu yang kami ambik dari Pampore sampai ke sini. We reached Achabal Mughal Garden, di daerah Anantnag. 

Zubair dah biläng sama i yang kami akan berpicnic at  one of the parks on the way to Pahalgam.  Food, dia akan tapau.  sounds interesting kan.. sebab nya i ni jenis orang yang jarang lah berpicnic.. kat Kashmir ni pulak nak picnic2.. anyway, without banyak songeh, i just agreed with his idea. yang penting makan. 

Tapi  once tiba di Achabal Mughal Garden,  he made a different decision. ye lah due to the weather, agak susah nak picnic di taman tu.. mengigil2 semuanya.. sebab, it was not a sunny day. lagipun the food needed to be warmed. so kami berhenti kat depan one resto ni, and Zubair pun arranged dengan depa lah..now, kami akan ke taman, the resto panaskan food, lepas balik dari taman, baru kami makan.  okkk.. jom kita ke Achabal Mughal Garden. 

sebelum tu kita bertongkat sakti dulu..yang lain dah tak sempat2 nak ke toilet.. kitarang sakan berpicca.. 

with Nad and Bilal. i selit je lah.. lagipun i entahlah.. malas sungguh nak tangkap gambar.. entah lah... menongkong je lah.. lagipun banyak gambo i, mata tu sembab sungguh... thanks to Nad yang selalu je ajak i berpicca.. ok lah kann.. orang lawa, kita pun sua lahh.. kalau tak, malu gak kan..

ni lagi. Nad memang suka guna monopod. so, i pun selit je lah.. layannn.. thanks dear for sharing some of the pictures.. 

tak cukup lagi tuuuu.. jommmmm...

perlahan - lahan kami menuju ke Achabal Mughal Garden.

beli tickets, covered in the package. 

tak terang lah pulak description about this park.. anyway, i took the info dari Wiki and share with you guys. 

Achabal ( Koshur - Achhval) (Nastaleeq:اچهول) is a town and a notified area committee in Anantnag district locally known as Islamabad district in the Indian administered state of Jammu & Kashmir. Perhaps the most beautiful of springs is Achabal, which gushes out of the Sosanwar hill, and was once enlisted by the emperor Jehangir in the service of beauty and pleasure. It is said that the Breng river which disappears at Dewalgam in the fissures of the limestone is the real source of the Achabal spring but many statements are contradicting that myth.

Achabal is an important tourist place about 7 kilometres away from Anantnag and four kilometers from Akingam. The place is famous and attractive due to an ancient spring surrounded by a garden terraced and developed by the Mughals. The place has got some historical background also. The upper portion of the garden is called 'Bag-e-Begum Abad' developed by Malika Noor Jehan Begum in 1616 AD and renowned as Sahib Abad in which there is a Hamam (treasure of water) getting heat from a logical lamp (Tosnag).

Cascades and fountains erected by Mughal Emperors enhance the beauty of the spot. A mosque standing in the garden believed to have been constructed by Mughal Prince Dara Shikwah. Achabal was once the pleasure retreat of Empress Noor Jehan. A trout hatchery is also located nearby. Achabal is the site of a famous Mughal garden called Achabal Gardens.

tambah sayu bila i berada di atas ni.. tetiba teringat arwah.. kuat nya pujukan arwah agar me and Chef CiJu ke Kashmir in autumn.. tapi sayang nya bukan arwah yang jadi tour guide.. sekali lagi air mata i tertumpah.. tak tertahan2 sungguh..

bila tengok i menangis, zubair dah serba salah dah.. terus diajaknya turun dan keluar dari garden ni. 

sebelum tu sempat lagi diambiknya gambar i sama dengan Bilal. 

akhirnya kami kembali ke sini.. nak lunch. 

muka dah lapar semua nya ni..

lapar ye kak? 

rupa - rupa nya  nasi yang ditapau tu adalah dari dapur rumah mak zubair. ahhhh..disuruhnya mak dia masak.. sian orang tua tu sakit - sakit kaki kena masak.. anyway, thanks to his mom for this lovely lunch.. nasi beryani kot.

memang banyak nasi yang dibawak.. i love the chicken..

sementara kami makan, Zubair and Bilal went for Friday prayer.. ALHAMDULILAH.. masjid kat tepi resto tu je.

selesai solat, muncul Zubair dengan this fruit. Apples and pomegranate. 

punya lah sedap buah ni.. habis sebijik kami makan. 

jom... terus kan perjalanan.. masih jauh lagi nak pegi ni..

sebelum tu sempat bagi candies to these boys.. senyum meleret depa. 

perjalanan diteruskan.. berapa lama lagi??? dan ke mana tujuan kami ek?   hanya masa yang menentukan..so tunggu yeeee..
