Zurimanz Village also famously known as Bangladesh of India,  came into existence after the 1971 Indo-Pak war in East Pakistan. During that war period, a devastating fire broke out in the Zurimanz village, and the whole of the village turned into ashes. People of the village Zurimanz started rebuilding their houses in the village and due to the coincidence of events East Pakistan became Bangladesh and this rebuilt village was also called Bangladesh.

During our research on this village, we contacted some old people of the village, and according to many of them who said that this place started getting tourist attention only after two brothers of the village built a Shikhara (houseboat), a traditional Kashmiri houseboat for the lake to attract tourists to come to Zurimanz Village in the hope to enjoy a  scenic boat ride on the Wular lake, one of the largest freshwater lakes in South Asia while embracing its beauty and picturesque surroundings. 

Wular Lake is a freshwater lake situated in the District Bandipora. The lake basin was formed as a result of tectonic activity and is fed by the river Jehlum. As far as the lake size is concerned, it varies from 12 to 100 square miles( 30 to 260 square kilometers) depending on the season. This lake is one of the largest lakes in South Asia and is one of the six Indian Wetlands designated as Ramsar Sites. This lake is an important habitat for fish and also sustains a wealthy population of birds. This lake has an artificial island which was built by King Zain-ul-Abidin in 1444 commonly known as Zaina Lank. This island bears several heritage sites and among them is a mosque and a temple. Tourists enjoy boating, bird watching, water sports, etc. with great spirit and enthusiasm in Wular Lake

Frequently Asked Questions : 

What is the History of Zurimanz Village, Bandipora

Zurimanz Village also called Bangladesh of Kashmir is an extremely breathtaking, beautiful, and stunning tourist resort that has recently become one of the most favorite tourist resorts of global and domestic tourists. The history of this tourist village goes back to 1971 when the India-Pakistan war took place in East Pakistan and Bangladesh was formed after this war. In the same year, a heavy fire broke out in the village and all the houses of the villagers were burnt down and they became homeless. But instead of losing hope, they re-constructed their houses with great dedication and handwork and decided to rename the village Bangladesh of Kashmir which was recognized by concerned authorities in 2010. The idea to promote this extremely beautiful village was initiated by two brothers of the village namely Firdous Ahmed and Ghulam Hassan who built a Shikhara (houseboat), a traditional Kashmiri houseboat for the lake to attract tourists to come to Zurimanz Village in the hope to enjoy a scenic boat ride on the Wular lake, one of the largest freshwater lakes in South Asia while embracing its beauty and picturesque surroundings. They succeeded in their mission and promotion of this tourist resort and it has now become one of the most favorite places for tourists. The government of Jammu and Kashmir has taken many steps for the promotion of such tourist places and it is because of their efforts, that it has become a big attraction for tourists in recent years. One such big step initiated by the Government to promote this tourist village globally was that recently a famous South Indian film crew completed its shooting for a film around Wular Lake, one of South Asia's largest freshwater lakes, and some of its important scenes were shot in Zurimanz Village. People from all over India throng to this place every year to witness its stunning beauty which they believe is awe-inspiring.

Conclude : 

The tourism industry   is a major source of livelihood in Jammu and Kashmir where millions of people are connected with this industry in one way or the other way and the Government of J&K is giving full thrust to the sector to see it grow vigorously 

The Government of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has done a tremendous and appreciable job for the last many years in this field of Tourism by creating a huge tourist infrastructure, better road connectivity, etc. to attract foreign tourists here. Every year, the Government organizes tourism festivals, and awareness Programmes in different Districts in Jammu and Kashmir which yield better results and we are witnessing a record number of foreign and domestic tourists every year in the Union Territory. 

It is important to mention here that on the one hand, the Government has taken many steps to provide better facilities to the old Tourist spots, and on the other hand, for the first time in the history of J&K, more than a hundred very beautiful places which were overlooked by the previous Governments have been brought on the tourist map. Therefore bringing these unseen stunning tourist places on the tourist map will surely generate employment for the locals of more than a hundred new places. 

we expect that in future times, Zurimarz tourist village will be developed fully and given the best possible facilities so that more tourists start visiting here The government is already taking all possible steps to promote this area in the District along with other unseen tourist places to promote it on a national level, recently a South Indian film crew completed shooting for their film around the world-famous Wular Lake whose principal photography was done in neighboring Baramulla and some of the scenes of this film were shot in Zurimarz. In the coming times, the concerned authorities are planning to develop such places on a mass level so that they attract global tourists on a high level.
