Verinag Spring and Mughal Garden

About this place

Verinag Spring.A beautiful circular stone spring at the very source of the Jhelum River, surrounded by a classic Mughal garden with chinar trees and arched colonnades. The water is strikingly clear and blue-green.

History & highlights

The natural spring was monumentalised by Emperor Jahangir, who loved Kashmir’s springs and ordered the octagonal stone tank and garden to be built in the early 17th century. It became one of the first Mughal stops while entering the valley from the south and still marks the symbolic beginning of the Jhelum.
