Kokernag Spring and Botanical Garden

Kokernag Spring and Botanical Garden is a developed tourist site in Kokernag town, Anantnag district, Jammu and Kashmir, built around one of Kashmir's largest freshwater springs. The spring emerges as a cluster of bubbling pools at the foot of a forested hillside and feeds landscaped terraced gardens with flower beds, lawns and chinar trees. Known for its clear cold water and trout rearing centre, it is a popular day-trip destination from Srinagar and Anantnag.

Visitors can expect a terraced botanical garden built around a large natural spring complex where clear, cold water bubbles up and flows through stone-lined channels and pools. The garden features manicured lawns, seasonal flower beds, chinar and pine trees, paved walkways and bridges over water channels. A trout rearing farm and hatchery is located within the complex. The setting is at the base of forested hills, offering space for leisurely walks, photography and picnicking.
