Reckoned to be the Gateway of Kashmir, Baramullah is another bright gem from the
Kashmir’s treasure trove. Both the city and the district of Baramullah are generously blessed with natural endowments. Gulmarg, Khilanmarg and Tangmarg are also places of interest in Jammu & Kashmir tourism along with being important tourist attractions in the district. Where Gulmarg is an idyllic skiing resort, there Khilanmarg is a flower-spangled wide valley, you will get ample of opportunities to click beautiful pictures here. If in Baramullah, you must also visit Wular Lake, which is considered Asia’s largest fresh water lake and if you enjoy bird watching, you can also visit Manasbal Lake. Vijimarg, Mahalishamarg and Uri are some ideal picnic spots. However, it can rightly be said that a journey to Uri is more interesting rather than the destination.It is often seen that whenever Katra is discussed; it is referred merely as a base camp for devotees who visit Vaishno Devi. But, there is certainly more to explore in Katra. Situated around 42kms from Jammu, Katra is one of the most picturesque places in Jammu. A nature lover would love to visit Baba Dhanasar located just 10kms away from the city. Known for its scenic beauty, it is an ideal picnic spot. Shiv Khori is another must visit; this place stand second to Vaishno Devi in religious value and is famed for its 4ft tall naturally formed Shiva Linga. Katra is indeed a place that should be visited in Jammu & Kashmir as it reflects perfectly the divinity of Jammu.
