Nestled at an impressive elevation, Sheshnag Lake brings you face-to-face with untouched beauty with adequate doses of adventure. Your lungs will delight in smog-free skies, and your eyes will marvel at this oligotrophic lake that is so clear that you can see the surrounding lush green meadow’s reflection on the lake that gives it an emerald green glitter. Fed by mountainous streams and melted snow, the enticing lake mostly stays frozen and inaccessible during winters. The lake is also home to several rare species of fish including the brown trout. Along with its scientific significance, the Sheshnag Lake is also associated with myths and legends of the divine serpent, Sheshnag. Locals believe that the serpent dug this lake and made it its abode, where it still resides. One of the prominent sites of Pahalgam, this lake, is easily trek-able from Chandanwari Valley, which is only about seven miles away.
