Abstract
Waterfalls have been well liked tourist attractions in the Kashmir valley since very long. This paper discusses the waterfalls of Central Kashmir in historical perspective, their role in tourism and their impact on the landscape development. Not only a delight to the eyes, have waterfalls provided for a wide range of outdoor activities as well. Usually these are found in higher reaches and dangerous terrains so in order to make it reachable for the tourists, footpaths, narrow roads and even certain passes are constructed. New developments in the form of power generation and an increased number of visitors tend to spoil the aesthetic enjoyment of waterfalls. The study revealed that many tourists as well as common people dislike the commercial development at most of the sites and prefer avoiding such places and choose some other alternative which is not this much explored and misused. Thus a new waterfall which was not much highlighted earlier, gets discovered and made known to the masses and yet again more the display more is the chance of misuse and exploitation of the place Though the government is committed to the sustainable development but it is the responsibility of every stakeholder to protect the environment while going for developmental works. Neither should be compromised for the sake of other as development and environmental protection go hand in hand.
