Namblan Waterfall – Baramulla: Kashmir’s Secret Cascade of Serenity
Discover the Hidden Symphony of the Himalayas
Just 80 km from Srinagar’s bustling streets, near the historic town of Baramulla[1], Namblan Waterfall[2] spills like liquid silver through pine-clad cliffs—a sanctuary where time dissolves into mist and birdsong[3]. Unmarred by commercialisation, this 70-foot waterfall remains Kashmir’s best-kept secret, offering soul-soothing solitude for travellers who dare to wander beyond the ordinary[4].
Why Namblan (Baramulla) Belongs in Your Kashmir Itinerary
