- After a 1 year break and frustrating home incarceration by covid19, We ( Me, Aaqib, Muazam, Shaheem & Xulkarnain) decided to stretch our legs and refresh our minds and soul. After thinking through we decided to trek to Sheshnag Lake.
Sheshnag Lake is an alpine high altitude oligotrophic lake situated at the track leading to Amarnath cave 23 kilometers from Pahalgam in Anantnag district of Kashmir valley in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir at an elevation of 3590 meters. It has a maximum length of 1.1 kilometers and maximum width of 0.7 kilometers.
Coordinates : 34.093697°N 75.496686°E
According to the Hindu's Sheshnag means the king of snakes and the lake was dug by Sheshnag himself.It is believed by the Hindus that Sheshnag stays in this Lake even today. It is one of the most ancient places of pilgrimage for the Hindus, as it lies on the track of Amarnath cave.As per another legend, Lord Shiva is said to have left Sheshnag (snake) in this place while talking about the secrets of eternal life with Goddess Parvati.
Hope you enjoy the video and hope it helps you in planning your own trip inshallah. 😊
