If you want to experience the real Kashmir then a trip to Watlab is a must for you. Watlab is situated on the Sopore-Bandipore road about 56 km from Srinagar and 8 km from Sopore in Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. As you move away from the well-traversed areas of the valley, you will get to see the Kashmir you have never heard before. Apart from the untamed beauty, Watlab in Kashmir is famous for its hilltop Muslim shrine. The shrine was built in the memory of Baba Shukurddin, a Muslim mystic.

This place offers you a beautiful view of the Wular Lake, stretching out as far as the eye can see. The picturesque villages edging around the lake further enhance the scenery. Also adding a touch of color to the landscape are the fields of paddy nearby. For accommodation at Watlab, there is a Forest rest house situated amongst beautiful apple orchards. You can rest here to enjoy the sheer grandeur of the spectacular countryside at leisure.
