For those who want to experience the beauty of the Himalayas but don`t have enough time for a long trek, the Sheshnag Lake Trek is a perfect choice. This 3-day trek takes you through some of the most scenic routes of the Himalayas and leads you to the beautiful Sheshnag Lake. Located in the Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir, this trek is ideal for beginners and seasoned trekkers alike. The Sheshnag Lake Trek starts from Pahalgam, a popular hill station in the Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir. The trail takes you through dense forests of pine, deodar and fir trees and offers magnificent views of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks. The trek is moderate in difficulty, with some steep ascents and descents, and requires a basic level of fitness. The highlight of the trek is the beautiful Sheshnag Lake, located at an altitude of 3,658 meters.
