Chinar Bagh
A park of plane trees along the Gilgit River, with a monument honoring the martyrs of the 1947 Gilgit Independence Uprising.
Chinar Bagh is a park in central Gilgit that runs along the Gilgit River. It takes its name from the tall chinar (Oriental plane) trees in the park, and it's a favorite spot for locals to stroll and cool off. The martyrs' monument commemorates the 1947 Gilgit Independence Uprising, and commemoration events are held every year on November 1. From the riverbank you can look out at the hills across the water. It's close to the central Raja Bazaar and is a good place for an evening walk. The location is approximate.
