Bandipora, May 11: Zurimanz, a picturesque village located in north Kashmir’s Bandipora district and also known as Bangladesh, is fast becoming a popular destination among tourists due to its stunning natural beauty and serene surroundings.
The village is nestled along the banks of the magnificent Wular Lake, which is one of the largest freshwater lakes in South Asia and provides a breath-taking backdrop for visitors to enjoy a wide range of activities, including boating, fishing, and bird watching.
Tourists from all over India and the locals are flocking to the village to witness its awe-inspiring beauty.
The locals, who are from the fishermen community while expressing excitement told Rising Kashmir that they are very happy about the prospect of their village becoming a hotspot for tourists.
They said that they believe that if the government provides better facilities and develops the village, more tourists will visit Zurimanz.
As reported exclusively by the Rising Kashmir earlier, two brothers from Zurimanz hamlet have launched the first-ever Shikara in the lake to boost tourism at Wular Lake. Firdous Ahmad Bhat and Ghulam Hassan came up with the idea to improve their means of sustenance and entice more visitors to the lake. Firdous highlighted the need to save the lake from pollution, as it is not only a source of income for thousands of fishermen but also a vital part of the ecosystem.
The efforts made by the two brothers to boost tourism at Wular Lake have been widely appreciated, and the government’s commitment to promoting tourism in the region has brought hope and optimism to the villagers.
The government is committed to promoting sustainable tourism in the region and providing better facilities to the villagers. The villagers are happy with the support provided by the government and are hopeful that their village will soon become a popular tourist destination. Recently, a South Indian film crew completed shooting for their film around Wular Lake, which has the potential to create job opportunities for the local population.
An official said that the government plans to develop necessary infrastructure and amenities to make Zurimanz an attractive tourist destination. 
He said that the goal is to create a sustainable tourism model that benefits both the local community and the visitors. 
Deputy Commissioner Bandipora, Dr Owais Ahmad, while talking to Rising Kashmir expressed the government’s commitment to promoting tourism in Zurimanz village and developing the necessary infrastructure and amenities to make it an attractive tourist destination. 
The government plans to organize several festivals in the future to showcase the unique traditions and customs of the village and create a sustainable tourism model that benefits both the local community and visitors, he said.
