ABOUT

The Jhelum River, Vitasta Vyeth, is a river of northwestern India and eastern Pakistan. It is the westernmost of the five rivers of Punjab, and passes through Jhelum District. The river Jhelum originates at the Verinag Spring at Anantnag, at the foot of the Pir Panjal range in the Kashmir Valley. It flows in India as well as in Pakistan, and is on the westernmost side of the five rivers of Punjab. A tributary of the Chenab river, it flows for a total of 725 kilometers. Baramulla, being set up on the banks of the river Jhelum itself makes it very convenient for the tourists to bookmark this attraction in their bucket list. The Jhelum flows through Srinagar, before it enters Pakistan through a gorge.
