5 months agoAharbal Waterfall is one of the most beautiful spots I’ve visited in Kashmir. The water drops with a powerful roar into a deep gorge, surrounded by tall pine trees and peaceful hills. It’s easy to reach, with proper paths and viewpoints that make it safe and enjoyable for all ages. The sound of the water, the fresh air, and the natural beauty all around make it a perfect day trip.

7 months agoWe visited there on 22nd April 2025. The day when pahelgam terror attack took place. This is an offbeat place of kashmir. Beautiful waterfalls surrounded by beautiful nature. I dont know when kashmir will be peaceful again and tourists will start visiting kashmir again. Whenever everything will be normal on the way from Srinagar to Pahelgam you can visit this place.
