The Veshaw River is a major tributary to the River Jhelum located in Kulgam District in the Kashmir Valley in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, India. It originates in the Pir Panjal Range and forms a waterfall at Aharbal.^[1]

Course

The river originates from a oligotrophic lake Kausarnag located at an elevation of 3,962.4 metres above sea level in District Kulgam. The river forms a water fall in Aharbal and passes through Reshinagar Adabal, Nehama, Adigen, Laisoo, Gudder, Brazloo, Ashmuji, Kelam, Nawapora, Qaimoh and joins with river Jehlum at Sangam.^[2]

Flash floods

During the flash floods of 2014, Veshaw Nallah washed away various residential houses in villages Laisoo, Ardigatno, Gund Kelam Kulgam, etc. Also, hundreds of kanals of horticultural as well as agricultural land got washed away in Village Laisoo, Kulgam. The Veshaw Nallah is considered one of the most dangerous tributaries of Jehlum River because of fast flow and frequent flash floods.^[3]
