Destinations : Srinagar - Naranag - Trunkhol -
Gangabal Lake - Naranag - Srinagar - Gulmarg - Srinagar.
Gangabal Lake (Lat: 34.4333, Long: 74.925) is situated
at the foot of the northeastern glacier of Mount Harmukh,
at an altitude of about 3570 Meters (Francis Brunel, the
author of ‘Kashmir’ puts the altitude at 3657 Meters).
It is said to be the true source of Kashmir Ganga and is
hence known as ‘Uttarganga’. It is the final goal of
great ‘Haramuktaganga’ pilgrimage. Lake’s turquoise
colored sheet of water lends a subtle charm to the
valley which is known as the ‘Hardwar of Kashmir’. Water
from glaciers collects into the Gangabal Lake, which
subsequently flows down to another lake nearby called
Nundkol (Lat: 34.4166, Long: 74.9333) and then into the
Sindh River at Kangan. Gangabal is the most enchanting
trekking destination in the entire Kashmir valley and
can be reached from Sonamarg via Kishansar and Vishansar
(about 4 days trek), from Kangan.
