Perched like a pearl in Srinagar‘s Zabarwan Range, Pari Mahal (Palace of Fairies) isn’t just a monument—it’s a living fable. Built in the 1600s by Prince Dara Shikoh for his son, this terraced marvel blends Persian grandeur with Kashmiri mysticism, overlooking Dal Lake in a breathtaking symphony of arches, gardens, and mountain winds.

- Cinematic Magic: Featured in Bollywood classic Lamhe—relive iconic scenes amid its arches
- Panoramic Majesty: Uninterrupted views of Dal Lake and Srinagar from Kashmir’s highest Mughal garden
