Tourist Places in District Anantnag:
      The Anantnag district is not only the rice  bowl of the Valley, it is equally rich in landscape. The nature has been generous in gifting the district with places of unparallel beauty. The district can rightly boast of possessing the largest number of health resorts in the whole State. Of them particular mention may be made of Verinag, Kokernag, Achabal, Daksum and world famous health resort of Pahalgam. Before the advent of militancy in the state, during the summer months these places used to be filled to the brim by tourists coming from all parts of the country and a large number of foreign tourists also used to visit these places. Now the Government is pursuing  hard through sustained efforts in putting the tourist industry back on the rails and efforts are on for face-lifting  the physical appearance of these places. The damaged tourist infrastructure like  Huts, Dak Bungalows and Rest Houses are being re-constructed and it is hoped that the past glory of the places  of tourist interest  get restored and tourist industry will again flourish in the district.
