Nurshingh Phowaar (Often mispronounced as nursing phowar) is the name of a place in Soon Valley where one can find beautiful temples and lovely water springs. The temples still retain their original shape although rapidly deteriorating. Regarding its history, there was a Hindu Nurshingh Daas who came to this place to pray. The drops of the water spring falls on an adjoining mountains and that is why how this place got the name of ‘nurshingh phowar’. In the past, in the month of beesakh, a besaakhi mela used to be celebrated at this place where Yaatrees (pilgrims) came from distant towns and villages. There is a beautiful waterfall, greenery at its best, mind blowing water springs and amazing archaeological as well as historical temples at this place. These days, this temple is under the department of Oqaaf. It is a pity and we repeat, it is a pity and sheer callousness of our government that this temples has been turning into ruins since the last so many years. No care has been given to this place, no funds are allocated and we people are going to lose this precious historical site located in our own valley. Need of the hour is to develop and protect this place.

  1. Can you tell me how much hiking/walking is involved to reach here after the last point where cars can go? Is the path well marked?

    • Cars can go but some1 must remain at parking point. Then hike/walk 2km almost it. And it is worth to visit place.

  2. Don’t worry, you can park and leave, nothing happen to your car. About 1.5 km hike but not too steady.

  3. Are there any guides from locality who can guide the tourists? if any, how to contact them?
