Peer Baba

Brief Introduction of Peer babaThe top of Habba Khatoon, around which charming tales exist, is Gurez's most daunting mountain. The majestic, enormous Habba Khatoon is named for the eponymous poetess and peasant queen who is sometimes referred to as the "Nightingale of Kashmir" and who is claimed to have grown up close to the mountain's base. Its 13,000-foot, pyramid-shaped peak towers over the town. A woman named Habba Khatoon (Zoon) spent her entire life traversing Kashmir's valleys in remembrance of her late husband, Yusuf Shah Chak, the Kashmiri king who had been taken prisoner by Mughal emperor Akbar so that the later could take control of Kashmir Valley. In fact, it is rumoured that she is still wandering around this mountain, looking for the person she loved so terribly.

True beauty may be seen at Peer Baba, which is located just a few kilometres from Razdan Pass. Just before Razdan Pass, there is a place that has been created as a spiritual retreat where visitors may take in the expansive view of the entire Bandipora forest ranges and the little hamlets that appear to be imprisoned inside their mountain gorges. The area is adjacent to the Razdan Pass, which separates the Bandipora Valley from the Gurez Valley..

It is worthwhile to experience the Peer Baba Dargah's mystical ambience. Alongside the Dargah, there is a modest temple built by the Indian Army. The Indian Army is in charge of and maintains both the Dargah and the Temple. This gives the area a pluralistic hue by adding the spiritual element..

This Dargah, which is situated halfway between Tragbal and Razdan Pass, will welcome you with many coloured, fluttering cloths fastened to the poles. In its path is a lovely green meadow as well. where you may view Bandipora Town's elephant hills and the snow-capped Harmukh Mountain. The biggest freshwater lake in Asia, Wular Lake, is visible from above, rendering one comatose..
