Baramula Tourism: Hotels, Reviews, Packages, Photos, Maps, Experience, Itinerary

The rustic town of Baramula is located in Baramula District at the highest point of the riverbank on the Jehlum River. The Jehlum River actually has formed a delta just at the start of the Baramula town.  A beautiful town, idyllically situated besides the river with the backdrop of the lofty Himalayan ranges has evolved into a perfect tourist destination for those seeking rest and relaxation within the mountains. The panoramic scenic views are surpassed with the mountains on one side and an open valley view on the other.

It is written within the earliest epic of the Kashmiri the famous Nilmatapurna that the Kashmir area was covered with water and Lord Vishnu temporarily evolved into a boar and drained the lake waters with his molar. The origin of the name of the town holds significance to this legend as 'Baramula' originated from the two letters of Varrah and Mul, which are Sanskrit words for Boar and Molar.
