Sartaj's tips for Cheshma Shahi Hillside Resort

What a local would tell you before booking this one.

  1. 1

    Insist on the upper terrace

    Ask for the upper terrace level — the lower blocks look into the hillside, not the lake.

  2. 2

    Do all three gardens in one morning

    Nishat and Shalimar gardens are a ten-minute drive, so do all three in one morning.
