Aripal Spring

Aripal spring is a freshwater spring located in Aripal tehsil of Tral. The spring is located around 11 km from Sub-district headquarters Tral. The spring is surrounded by large tracts of trees and a chain of hills. The Aripal spring is now being developed as a tourist resort as it has tourism generating potential. Many people from Tral and adjacent towns visit the spring during summers particularly in July and August to enjoy the amiable weather around the spring. In summers, when almost every place is sizzling in day heat, the Aripal area witnesses an amiable weather which attracts the people of Tral and other areas to throng this very spring. This spring is also home to a few varieties of fish which adds to its beauty. The spring has not been given proper attention by the tourism department and thus this spring awaits proper development and beautification.
