Verinag
Located 80 kms from Srinagar at an altitude of
1,876 m, the spring of Verinag is believed to be the chief source of the
river Jhelum. Construction of the octagonal base of the spring and the
arcade around it was undertaken by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir and
completed during the reign of Shah Jahan. Down the stream to the east lie
the remains of a Mughal pavilion and baths. Verinag can be approached
through the link road, which turns off, from the national highway at Lower
Munda.
Aharbal
Gradually, the distant rumble becomes a roar as one approach the waterfall
of Aharbal, which crashes down a narrow gorge. Aharbal is more than just a
waterfall.
Aharbal falls
There are several places to picnic in the surrounding areas, as well as
delightful walks of varying lengths all over the hillsides. Interesting
treks-one of them to the high altitude lake of Kounsernag at 13,500 ft
above sea level-takes off from Aharbal.
