Fantastic place, recently restored. They will run the fountains if you ask in advance. The plumbing is a bit delicate. We visited in the evening when the Mughal rulers would have liked to come, taking a very old lady in a wheelchair. The staff were most helpful, pushing her up and down the elephant ramps. It is the last complete, remaining formal garden, based on the Islamic concept of Paradise. There are others in the world, but this is complete, and restored to its original appearance

Good place, everyone should visit this historic place. This place is enriched with history and people were amazing there. Feel honoured. And enjoyed tasty food. Amazing place

Absolutely Beautiful. Takes you back to time. Always believed such beautiful places should be kept and preserved as cultural heritages. absolutely stunning, peaceful and serene this place is. Its a family place yes, but one have to be careful. Ample parking spaces, however i think parkings should be outside of this heritage sites. Lovely Mughal architecture, lovely views

Amazing environment... Enjoy a lot, no doubt its a world heritage but we as a nation are so careless for cleanliness... If we make neat our homes then we should consider these like beautiful places our home...Feeling ashamed to see peoples behave for cleanliness....

It is one of the oldest gardens in the Lahore built in mughal era. It is quite open and huge. People can bring food and eat inside in a calm environment. It is also good for walking but not on weekends as its bit crowded on weekends. Overall well built, clean and green from all sides. Water fountains sometime work some time does not but overall its a good place to be if you like to see green and be in calm environment. The ticket price was 20 rupees in end of 2020. Inside its design is quite unique which reflect mughal architect design. Glad to visit there.

Lovely place. Worth a visit.If you are a foreigner or interested in the history (unlike 99% of the people that are there) Id recommend getting a guide at the beginning, costs pkr 500.

Beautiful garden, all main road gates should be be opened to enter. Orange line metro train reaches quickly from all stops.

Historical place and best for enjoys with friend and family. you must visit with your fried and family. Parking system is best. Refreshing system is average. If you go there must visit museum of shalimar Bagh

It is a beautiful and historical place . I think this is better place to take Sun in winter If you take Orange You will enjoy it

Absolutely awesome, definitely a place to watch. Though this place needs government attention in order to maintain this place. Everything about this place is 5 star. AL HAMDULILLAH bright example of mughal architect. Government of Pakistan must take care of this place.

Beautiful and peaceful place to spend some time with family, great presentation of mughal empire and state of the art building of mughal history.

A very old traditional simbol off mughal heritage and also a very famous place off the Lahore city. Which noun as SHALAMAR GARDEN.

A beautiful place which takes you back into Mughal Rule in Lahore.

Pleasent place to spend time with your friends and family as well as girlfriends.️

Each part is at different elevation. If you want to enjoy then try to get orange train and take a ride on it and then enjoy this gardens visit.

The Shalimar Gardens, constructed by Shah Jahan in 1641-2 is a Mughal garden, layering Persian influences over medieval Islamic garden traditions, and bearing witness to the apogee of Mughal artistic expression. A wonderful historical place to visit in Lahore. The Shalamar Gardens also known in English as the Shalimar Gardens, are a Mughal garden complex located in Lahore, capital of the Pakistani province of Punjab.It is an old Mughal Garden that has beautiful gardens filled with flowers, one of the most attractive archaeological sites of Lahore, Pakistan

One of my favorite Mughal architec in lahore

Very best historical place in LahoreShalimar Bagh is famous for visiting point for family and friends

Very peaceful place.and interesting fact is fishes are here in water.tat was very beautiful sight to see them.and obviously architect is awwwsumm.totally recommend but before 4 or 5 pm.bcz after 4 or 5 pm it is a very rushy place.,

This is Historical places, known as Shalimar Bagh

Morning vibe of the garden ia top notch and a lot of space but lacka any designated track and has a yoga class like most. Parks in the morning and is equally refreshing

Its great place to visit for monuments but it not preserved properly and most areas are not accessible although it is beautiful.

The gardens are part of the Mughal era which was completed in a record time of 1 year in 1642. The credit of the place goes to the then Emperor Shah Jahan who was known for his love for nature and construction. . Shalimar name meaning is still an unresolved mystery as the historians are yet to confirm that whether it came from Arabic or the Persian origin. The place is located close to Baghbanpura on the GT road which is in the northeast direction at a distance of 5KM from the city center of Lahore.

Shalamar Bagh is still most beautiful garden in Lahore since 300 years... I love it

The place is good, very peaceful even though its right next to the bustling GT Road, its a work of art truly a gem of mughal architecture. Bring your own food btw, and please pick trash on your way out.

Its good place for gathering with family if youve not visited this place till now I suggest you for visit this place..

400 years old garden. Quite big in three levels. Lot of trees. Beautiful mix of water, fountains and greenery. Geometric design adds to the beauty. Good place for spending evening.

The impressive Mughal complex consists of the old walls, buildings and the terraced gardens, museum n fort both places have good historical background and a lot of history in the fort please see the museum which is very interesting and will show you very nice pictures of that era, Shalamar garden is big and old memories of Mughal empire. It is very good looking big field and fountains are here. Very historical buildings and boundaries. Very famous in Lahore.

Just a place to spend hours in calm and chill environment by enjoying the moment with your loved ones, or see the historical place.

Historic place. You must visit. But they close the garden too early before the official timing.

What a beautiful place to visit with your family really easy to reach there specially when orange train has been strated

A beautiful place worth visiting but govt. should restore the damaged portions and maintain the fountains as during my visit all were non functional and i can imagine how beautiful it would have been in case all were functioning.

Marvellous place to visit. It is a historical place. It is a good place not only for visitors but also for person who does daily walk

It was my first experience and was mind blowing. The place is awesome and historical.You all must have to visit it.

Its nice but lot of un happened things are happening

The park is awesome for outing specially along with your family.Great Architecture revealing mughals empire dignity. Specially the fountains and pond in between green lush gardens are simply awesome and worth seeing.

The best picnic place to visit with family. but there is not any fun related activity for children.

Constructed in 1642 by shah Jahan Mughal emperorEveryone should visit this place with children to show history and to teach

If you want to go shahlmar bagh its good idea.We went through orangeline metro train from iqbal town....Walking distance from shahlamar bagh metro station..spend 2 hours of day time...it was awsum...all of us enjoyed.

Not a suitable place for girls.Have become a dating point. And no cleanliness. And no maintenance.Weird looking beggars are roaming in every corner. Very disappointed. Our government should have done something to save the historic site.

It is a good experience for me. From this we know about our legacy so visiting this leave good effect on me... But we are ruined our heritage because we are not keeping them clean.government should give attention to keep them clean and safe...

Well worth the trip! Dont miss out on this historical place, its absolutely gorgeous.

Such a good place for enjoyment with family, freinds& others its was also historical place of our country

Best place for new marriage couples. young generation for visit and morning walk.

Its was great to visit there . I recommend all to visit and enjoy this place

Shalimar bagh is very beautiful place in lahore

Historical Place. Good to visit.

Lahores Shalamar Gardens were built by the Mughal royal family primarily as a venue for them to entertain guests, though a large portion was open to the general public. The gardens design was influenced by the older Shalimar Gardens in Kashmir that were built by Shah Jahans father, Emperor Jahangir.[7] Unlike the gardens in Kashmir which relied on naturally sloping landscapes, the waterworks in Lahore required extensive engineering to create artificial cascades and terraces.[8]The Shalamar Gardens were designed as a Persian-style Charbagh Paradise garden - a microcosm of an earthly utopia.[2] Though the word Bagh is translated simply as garden, bagh represents a harmonious existence between humans and nature, and represents a poetic connection between heaven and earth.[2] All natural elements of the bagh are appreciated - including the sun, moon, and air.[2] Muhammad Saleh Kamboh, historian to Shah Jahan, reported that the gardens of Kashmir inspired the design for the Shalamar Garden in Lahore,[2] and that a wide variety of trees and flowers grew together in the garden.The site was chosen for its stable water supply. The project was managed by Khalilullah Khan, a noble of Shah Jahans court, in cooperation with and Mulla Alaul Maulk Tuni. Ali Mardan Khan was responsible for most of the construction, and had a 100-mile-long canal built to bring water from the foothills of Kashmir to the site.The site of the Shalamar Gardens originally belonged to the Arain Mian Family Baghbanpura. Mian Muhammad Yusuf, then the head of the Arain Mian family, ceded the site of Ishaq Pura to the Emperor Shah Jahan in order for the gardens to be built. In return, Shah Jahan granted the Arain Mian family governance of the Shalamar Gardens, and the gardens remained under their custodianship for over 350 years.

Best historical place and a best place for picnic too

It was stunning it does need work done to it. The price should be more to help with the renovations. It was busy at 2pm. There were some snacks available. No gift shop though. It was huge. There is a car park next to the garden. You need to see it.

View of Shalamar Garden from orange line metro train. Lovely place to visit.

Calm and Clean Place Herritage Site...Evening Time Preffered

There is no managment to take care of garden. They are just making money. Firstly they charge for parking and then there is a ticket of Rs.20The grass of whole Garden is in critical condition. You will see drug addicts and boys and girls dating each other.Not recommended for families in any way.

Historically Magical.The fountain trail is just mesmerising for the eyes. The khawab gah and showers are worth in once a life time

The great Shalamar Garden is situated in Lahore Punjab Pakistan Punjab, also known in English as the Shalimar Gardens, are a Mughal garden complex located in Lahore, capital of the Pakistani province of Punjab.

In 1981 the Shalamar Gardens were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as they embody Mughal garden design at the apogee of its development.The courtiers told the Maharaja Ranjit Singh that Shala was a Turki word which means pleasure and the mar means the place to live in. Dissatisfied, he changed the gardens name to Shahla Bagh ‘Shahla’ meaning in Persian sweetheart with dark gray eyes and a shade of red and ‘Bagh’ meaning ‘garden.’ The courtiers present passed high eulogies on the Maharájás ingenuity in selecting so charming a name for the famous gardens of Láhore, and it was ordered, accordingly, that henceforward the gardens be called by that name, and written so in all public correspondence. The gardens are however still known as the Shalamar Gardens nowadays.

Historical Place. Green Environment.Good Place to visit with family and also very suitable for picnic.

It is a historical garden. It is included in world heritage as well.

Because it is a historical garden. The boundary wall is constructed in ancient time and remind the process how that people constructed their towns.

Its famous historical place build in 16th century. Loved to visit it riding Orange line metro train.

Mughal heritage need to be preserved and artistically constructed and water engineered but we didnt preserved that

Even though this place is not as marvelous as it used to be it still is an important historic place, being in a city as busy and as polluted as Lahore Shalimar bagh is one of the places people can go to relax and breathe fresh air.

Beautiful historical place to visit with fammily and also you can spent a day there.

Amazing place to visit.History is imbeded in this building.A two sided long wide track arround the pool is provided by mughal Emperor.There are nice maintained green beds aswell.

Beautifully designed by the Mughal Emperors, its architecture and design is mind blowing.

It is one of tge most beautiful and Papuler garden in lahore Build by Mughal

Good historical place you can visit this place with your family and friends.

Such a beautiful historical place..very comfortable and peacefull

I was exuberant to see how well preserved the garden is. Its in better shape than the Lahore Fort. Its best to ask the security guards to give you a tour, they describe in detail. Please tip them generously.

Marvellous. Wonderful. Unforgettable. Thank you.

I visited during winter, if your planning to visit it would be best to come here in the Spring or Summer as certain flowers will come into blossom. Its a real shame that the ponds are hardly maintained and there is litter scattered in places and graffiti can also be seen if you look closely. Despite this, Shalimar Bagh is still a powerful reminder of the Mughal Empires renown for lavish gardens and unique architecture.

Just need few facilities for visitors. Inside security is very important for visitors safety.

The aim of the college, for the individual student, is to eliminate the need in his life for the college; the task is to help him become a self-educating man.

Wonderful park in the city of lahore. Historical place with its own style and beauty.

Its a historical and beautiful place but no one care about its cleaning
