Overview
The Mughals built gardens as earthly visions of paradise, and Lahore’s finest, the terraced, fountain-filled Shalimar Gardens laid out for Shah Jahan in 1641, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This relaxed half-day pairs Shalimar with other green and tomb-set spaces: the colonial-era Bagh-e-Jinnah (Lawrence Gardens) and the garden settings of Jahangir’s and Noor Jahan’s tombs.
It’s the calmest tour we offer, ideal for a hot afternoon, older travellers, or anyone craving space and shade between the monuments.
