Another garden associated with Jahangir is Achhabal near Anantnag. Gushing out of a lime-stone mountain on which a forest of deodars is growing is a spring of clear water which is the life and soul of Achhabal garden. The garden is laid out in terraces and is planted with apple, pear, plum, apricot and cherry. There are also stately *chenars* for shade. A pavilion with rich cedar wood-work presides over the canal, which takes its birth in the mountain-side spring. Near the road-side is a rest house with streams of water flowing through its lawns.
