Wah has many anecdotes attached to it. It is said that when Mughal emperor Akbar came to this place, he was straightaway impressed by the beauty and landscape of the area and upon seeing the idyllic setting and clear, rushing waters, purportedly uttered the word "Wah" - the "Wow" in English. Hence the place came to be known as Wah. Another explanation is that Mughal Emperor Jahangir, while traveling to Kashmir, stopped at a small village near Hassanabdal. The village called Jalalsar was situated near a number of springs. “Wah, Wah, exclaimed the weary emperor at the idyllic sight. From then on the village was renamed as Wah. Today, the area is called the Wah Gardens as the emperor had built a miniature Shalamar Gardens at the site. Whatever the root, Wah Gardens, built by Mughals are not only unique, aesthetically designed and laid but also provide freshness to the burning eyes from the scorching heat of the area. The basic map and design was planned by Ahmed Mehmer Lahori.
