Known as "the Garden of Joy" or "Garden of Delight" in Urdu, the Persian-style garden was built in 1633 by Empress Noor Jahan's brother Asif Khan.
It is famous for its stunning lake and mountain vistas, avenues of poplars or chinar trees, and its 12 terraces, which are said to represent the different zodiac signs.
The rectangular pool in the middle of the garden was formed by changing the course of a mountain stream.

Sad to say, such beauty is marred by ugliness of man.
The conflicts among the different groups, make this place dangerous.
Been there in the 70s during winter.
Whole place covered with snow.

My dad went there during the 1980s. He told me it was beautiful but he kept hearing gunshots.
