Tucked away in the serene mountains of Kashmir, the Sheshnag lake trek is a short yet rewarding journey to one of the region’s most enchanting high-altitude lakes. Located en route to the sacred Amarnath Cave, Sheshnag Lake sits at an altitude of approximately 3,590 meters and is known for its mythological significance and surreal beauty. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and green meadows, the lake reflects an emerald hue during the summer, making it a photographer’s paradise.
The trek starts from Chandanwari near Pahalgam and winds through pine forests, alpine meadows, and gentle ridgelines that offer sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. The trail is moderate and suitable for beginners who wish to explore Kashmir’s beauty without venturing too far off the grid.
