Surinsar Lake

"Legend has it that Surinsar Lake was created during the epic era of the Mahabharat. According to myth, the valiant Pandava warrior Arjun struck the earth with an arrow at Mansar, which miraculously emerged at Surinsar, giving birth to both lakes. This ancient tale weaves a mystical connection between the two lakes.

Nestled 42 kilometers from Jammu city, Surinsar Lake is a breathtaking destination surrounded by rolling hills and lush forests. Its religious significance draws devotees and nature enthusiasts alike. In proximity to Mansar Lake, just 9 kilometers away, Surinsar is often referred to as its twin. The Surinsar Mansar Wildlife Sanctuary, situated between the two lakes, adds to the region's natural beauty and cultural importance."
