Poonch (Jammu and Kashmir), June 22 (ANI): The Noori Chamb waterfall in Jammu and Kashmir has become a major attraction as tourists from the state and across India come there to get some relief from the summer heat. Named after Mughal Queen Noor Jahan, the waterfall is of historical significance as it is believed the queen used to bathe in drizzling water during her visit to the state. One of the tourists Rajesh Bakshi said he was left enchanted by the beauty of the waterfall. The historic waterfall is situated between Behramgala and Chandimarh on Mughal Road and is 45 kilometres away from Poonch district.
