'''Khulhama''' is a small village situated next to [[Nadihal]], in [[Bandipora District]], in the Indian union territory of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]]. Its name is derived from ''Khul'' - stream or river, and ''Hama'' - region or village. It is located below the foot of Nadihal and includes a large [[wetland]].

==Location==
Khulhama is an island region west of Nadihal on the banks of a river called a big stream or big river. It is about 6 km from the town of [[Bandipore]]. It is separated from Nadihal by a large river and bounded by 3 water bodies; [[Wular Lake]] to the north and south, and two rivers to the east and west. Nadihal, [[Lankrichpora]], [[Gundidachna]] and [[Vijhara]] are its neighbouring villages.

== Geography ==
Its altitude is 1578 meters above sea level. Khulhama consists of two mohallas: one from main bridge downwards as far as the Jamia Masjid, and one from Masjid onwards to the new colonies on the other bank of the same river.

==Economy==
It is a densely populated region because of the easy availability of resources and food. It hosts pastures, lakes and rivers. More than half of Khulhama's area is covered with woodland. Its agriculture is poor, although rice, maize, vegetables, peanuts and beans are cultivated. The soil in Khulhama is rich in humidity, moisture, water and poor in calcium, phosphorus, iron and minerals.

=== Fishery ===
More than half of its people work as fishers, hunters and sand collectors around Wular lake (one of Asia's largest freshwater lakes) and other local waters. It is rich in several aquatic life forms. Fish species include Kashmiri, Russian Punjabi, Rainbow Trout and Silver Trout. About 75–90 kg of fish every day are sold in Nadihal, Vvijhara, Poora Ajas, Sumbal, Papachan, Gamroo and as far away as Srinagar and central Kashmir.
