Pari Mahal, also known as the Fairies' Abode, is a seven-terraced garden built in the mid-1600s by Dara Shikoh, the eldest son of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Perched on the Zabarwan mountain range, it overlooks Dal Lake and provides a serene escape with its manicured lawns, arched niches, and a central water channel. Visitors can explore the ruins of the associated library and enjoy stunning sunset views over the lake.
