The River Jhelum is life line of Kashmir, Srinagar city is situated on the both banks of River Jhelum. Now there are numerous parks on the both banks of Srinagar. A stroll on the banks of the river is suggested to see the life of Srinagar. The River Jhelum is sourced through Verinag Springs. The river ends at Pakistan. Many poets have written about river Jhelum. Many people live on house boats on river Jhelum.

Verinag is situated at a distance of approximately 80 km from Srinagar. Reached through the link road, it is located at a height of 1,876 m. It is believed that the Verinag spring in Kashmir is the chief source of the river Jhelum. There is an octagonal base at the spring, surrounded by a covered passage.
Considered to be the source of the River Jhelum, often termed as the lifeline of the province of Jammu and Kashmir, the beautiful region of Verinag is indeed one of the best options of a weekend getaway from Srinagar
