Verinag — Where Kashmir’s Lifeline Begins
Verinag – The First Glimpse of Paradise
Located in the Anantnag district at the foothills of the Pir Panjal range, Verinag is a peaceful and picturesque town famous for the Verinag Spring, considered the source of the River Jhelum. This emerald-blue spring emerges from a deep stone tank surrounded by a beautifully maintained Mughal garden, commissioned by Emperor Jahangir in the early 17th century.
More than just a geographic wonder, Verinag is a blend of natural tranquility and historical richness, perfect for a quiet stopover or a full-day escape from the busy tourist circuits. The crystal-clear water, chinar-lined walkways, and Mughal architecture make it a hidden gem in South Kashmir.
