Aharbal waterfall kulgam
Among the most popular tourist attractions in Kulgam, the sheer magnificence of Aharbal, located on the River Veshav, is a sight to behold and befitting of its sobriquet β βNiagara falls of Kashmir βThe rumble of fierce white water gushing through, amplified by the tranquil environs, are like beats of nature that merge into a pool of calm, azure blue water, after the 25 metre fall. This one promises to mesmerize not just nature lovers but avid photographers too and with fishing spots and trekking options closeby, it has something for everyone.
KOUNSARNAG LAKE:
Nestled in the lap of Pir Panjal peaks on three sides, this snow fed lake in Kulgam, the source of River Veshav, is situated at about 4000 ft above sea level. Aharbal to Kousarnag, via Kungwattan and Mahinag is a major trek route, spanning 3 days. Once at the lake, trekkers are met with the breathtaking views of striking hues of blue against the rugged terrain. Its tranquil, crystal clear water and the serene summits above make for the perfect nature spot to reinvigorate the senses.
CHIRANBAL:
A short distance from the Manzgam (6 Km Approx.). Interspersed with luxuriant forest trees with towering mountains in sight, this vast expanse of emerald green is an untouched slice of natureβs bounty. The open, lush landscape of this montane meadow, bifurcated into hear (small) and bon (big) Chiranbal, offers a spectacular panoramic view. Campers and nature lovers can soak in natureβs goodness while the Zajinar River, on the banks of which Chiranbal is situated, offers fishing and swimming for enthusiasts.
BADI BAHEK:
Tucked away in DH Pora , surrounded by Pine forests and snow capped mountains is a hidden green gem called Badi Bahek. The untouched alpine pasture spread over acres of verdant green, dotted by a few nomad mud huts, is nature in its pristine glory. Its pure, picturesque beauty is a feast for the eyes. In the midst of the Behek lies Peer-Nag where a mere dip into it offers spiritual solace for the believers. An ideal camping site and picnic spot. It also has much to offer for those interested in an adrenaline pumping trek.
VASAK NAG KUND:
Situated at Kund, Tehsil Devsar in Kulgam Vasak Nag is a cold water spring of special significance. The Waltengo Nar villagers believe it is the outcome of a pact between the Sufi Saint Syed Noor Shah Baghdadi (RA) and a Hindu seer that the spring flows merely for 6 months before disappearing back into the earth mysteriously. It is welcomed with much fanfare around the 15th of April when it emerges and bid farewell when it disappears around the 15th of September, each year. Whether a geographical wonder or of spiritual origin the spring makes for an must visit for any traveler looking to explore off beat places.
HOUEN HENG:
A piece of tragic history lies buried under Kulgamβs snow covered Houen Heng (Dogβs Horn) peak (4200 ft above sea level). On 7th February 1966 a Fokker F 27 IA aircraft veered 12 miles off its course, crashing straight into the mountain, claiming all 37 lives on board. People recount a civil society campaign to recover the corpses from their snowy graves, led by a local businessman who lost his son in the crash. Time stands still here as the debries, well preserved to this day, beckon visitors to hear their tale.
