Keukenhof the tulip garden





Two major attractions of Netherland for a nature loving person are Kuekenhof the tulip garden and the wind mill in the country side. I had three ,my children in Amsterdam.
I visited Amsterdam in early May(could not go in April) so that I could see the tulips.Having visited the Tulip garden in Srinagar last April was very keen to see how the biggest tulip garden in the world looks like. On Sunday the 6 th May along with my daughter and son in law, took a bus to nearest railway station and then a train to Lieden from where a bus took us to keukenhof You can also take a bus from Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. Buying the ticket for the to and fro bus ride and entry to keukenhof on the net http://www.keukenhof.nl or from the railway station works out cheaper and easier than going and buying entry ticket at Keukenhof.
Keukenhof is a vast garden with tulips all around , you need atleast three hours to go around the garden, the good thing is their are lot of benches so placed that you can rest your tired legs and still keep on admiring and clicking the flowers. There is also a big glass house where you can have coffee and snacks and also view many other variety of flowers.
The whole experience can not be expressed in words best option is to go and see it yourself the second best is to go to Srinagar next April and visit the tulip garden there and the third best is to see the pics and enjoy.
