The Lolab Valley is a Himalayan[2] valley located in Jammu and Kashmir, India. The entrance to the valley lies {{convert|9|km|abbr=on}} north of Kupwara town, and the centre of the valley lies {{cvt|114|km}} northwest of Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir. It is an oval-shaped valley {{convert|15|mi}} long with an average width of {{convert|2|mi}}.{{citation needed|date=August 2012}}

Geography

The Lolab Valley is situated within the jurisdiction of Sogam Lolab, a block of Kupwara. It is bordered by the Kashmir Valley to the south and the Neelum Valley to the north, and is separated by Nagmarg meadows from Bandipore[3] to the east. It is formed by the flow of Lahwal River, which flows from east to west. The Lolab Valley is home to many ancient springs, and is covered with dense forests of pine and fir.[4] Fruit trees such as apple, cherry, peach, apricot and walnut are common in the valley, which is known as "the fruit bowl of Jammu and Kashmir".[5] The valley has several natural landmarks and tourist spots, such as the caves of Kalaroos. The main villages in the Lolab Valley are Putushai, Wavoora, Sogam, Maidanpora, Warnow, Cherkoot, Diver Anderbugh, Michal, Takipora,Goose. The Lolab Valley has two divisions: POUTNAI and Brunai. The areas included in POUTNAI are, Chandigam, etc. In Brunai are Kuligam, Cheepora, Varnow, etc.

Ecology

Like other valleys in the region, Lolab Valley is also home to many Himalayan wild animals, which include Himalayan black bear, Himalayan brown bear, snow leopard, ibex, markhor, hangul and musk deer.[6] {{citation needed|date=August 2012}} Lolab Vally is adjacent to Neelum Valley, and separated by the Line of Control.[7] The Valley has seen many armed combats,[8][9] which has resulted in the displacement of many wild animals.

Access

The Lolab Valley is well connected by road to Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir, and Srinagar Airport. A bus takes three hours to cover a distance of {{cvt|114|km}} and leads through the towns of Sopore and Kupwara. An under-construction road from Bandipora to Lolab via Nagmarg Meadows will cut short the Srinagar-to-Lolab distance by 30 kilometers. In Lolab Valley, there are a few tourist huts and many camping sites. It has the potential to become one of the best tourist destinations in Kashmir.

Tourism

Travelers visiting Lolab sometimes visit the resting place of the saint Kashyap reshi, which is located at a distance of 1 km from village Lalpora. A spring called Lavnag can be found nearby. The spring is three feet deep and has crystal clear water. Gauri spring is another major spring in the area. Due lack of intervention by government the place has very poor flow of tourists which keeps it potential for tourism still unexplored.{{or-inline|date=October 2018}} This place still manages to be one of the top most camping sites in Kashmir.{{fact|date=October 2018}}

Some tourist attractions in the valley include Satbaran Kalaroos, Chandigam, Nagmarg Camping Site Diver Anderbugh, Warnav, and Machil.{{fact|date=October 2018}}

Poem

Lolab Valley was once visited by one of the greatest Urdu poets of all time, Dr. Sir Muhammad Iqbal and wrote a poem, O Valley of Lolab! in the honour of Lolab's natural environment which starts with the stanza:

پانی ترے چشموں کا تڑپتا ہوا سیمابمرغانِ سحَرتیری فضاؤں میں ہیں بیتاباے وادیِ لولابYour springs and lakes with water pulsating and quivering like quicksilver,the morning birds fluttering about the sky, agitated and in turmoil,O Valley of Lolab!گر صاحبِ ہنگامہ نہ ہو منبر ومحرابدیں بندہٌ مومن کے لیے موت ہے یا خواباےوادیِ لولابWhen the pulpit and the niche cease to re‐create Resurrections,faith then is dead or a mere dream, for thee, me and for all.O Valley of Lolab!
