Achabal Gardens

Achabal Gardens, "the places of the princes", is a small Mughal garden located at the southeastern end of the Kashmir Valley in the town of Achabal, Anantnag district, India.

[1] The garden was built around 1620 A.D. by Mughal Empire Emperor Jahangir's wife, Nur Jahan.

[1] A main feature of the garden is a waterfall that enters into a pool of water.

[2] This place is also noted for its spring, which is said to be the re-appearance of a portion of the river Bringhi, whose waters suddenly disappear through a large fissure underneath a hill at the village Wani Divalgam in the Brang Pargana.

The water of the spring issues from several places near the foot of a low spur which is densely covered with deodar trees and at one place it gushes out from an oblique fissure large enough to admit a man's body and forms a volume some 46 centimetres (18 in) high and about 30 centimetres (12 in) in diameter.
