Aharbal Waterfall

OpenChecked 29 September 2026
Quick answer
Aharbal is a powerful waterfall where the Veshaw river drops through a granite gorge in pine forest, about 70–75 km from Srinagar via the apple town of Shopian. After past accidents, the area near the falls is fenced, so you view it from safe points. It's a separate day from the springs loop, lovely in late spring and autumn.
