Template:Multiple issues Gufkral ('Template:Lang' means cave and 'Template:Lang' means potter) is a site inhabited by potters who utilize the caves. The cave of Gufkral is one of the oldest cave in Kashmir and some estimates trace their origin 2000-3000 BCE.[1]
Gufkral is situated Template:Cvt southeast of Srinagar near the tehsil town of Tral in the Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir.
