The 'Jhelum River', which flows through the Vale of Kashmir, empties its waters into which lake before entering Pakistan?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Jhelum River flows into Wular Lake in Jammu and Kashmir, which acts as a natural flood reservoir and regulates the flow of the river before it crosses into Pakistan to join the Chenab River. Dal Lake is an urban lake in Srinagar known for its houseboats and floating gardens but is not the main trunk drainage channel for the Jhelum. Pangong Tso and Tsomoriri are endorheic high-altitude saline lakes located in the eastern union territory of Ladakh.
