Kousarnag, known as the crown jewel of Alpine Lakes, is the second largest high-altitude lake in the Valley with an area of 110 Hectares. Literally ‘Kausar Nag’ means a spring which gifts life, in Islamic literature and Hindus call it ‘Vishnu Pad’, meaning, ‘Foot of Lord Vishnu’. Nestled in the lap of Pir Panjal Range, this beautiful lake is located at an altitude of around 3500m ASL with around 2.75 kms in length and 700m at the widest point. Surrounded by the mighty peaks of the Pir Panjal by east and west, this high-altitude enchanting lake, apparently has no visible water outlet. The Ice bergs remain floating in the lake for the whole summer on Its magical sapphire blue water. The beaten track starting from Gurwattan and passes through different scenic meadows and pastures leading to this pristine lake, gives spectacular views of nature on the way. The trek is almost moderate up to Mahinag, but the trail ahead ascended to the top is a bit challenging. This is the safest and most convenient route known to the people passionate in trekking. While there are several other known tracks approaching to this destination, but they are extremely dangerous and better to avoid them. Horses and potters can be easily hired on reasonable rates by the trekkers visiting Kounsernag.
Best season to visit the lake is June to September.
