Pulwama is an exotic place abounding in stunning locales. The congenial ambiance, verdant valleys sprinkled by meandering rivulets are a sight to behold. The Historical Mughal Highway, cascading Aripal Nag and Aharbal waterfalls, sparling blue Tarsar and Marsar Lakes and the lush meadows Kungwattam, Nagberan, Hurpora and Shikargah are a tourist’s delight. Besides the historical monuments and shrines and monasteries are also worth visiting.
