Known for its beauty and serendipity, Kashmir is also interestingly famous for its architectural ruins. Many temple ruins here are as popular as other natural tourist spots, attracting visitors from many nooks and corners of the world.
One such historical temple situated is the Naranag, a frequently thronged place located on the foothills of Mount Harmukh. Interestingly the name Harmukh means ‘every face’, serving as the stepping stone for the trekking of the majestic mountains.
Situated on the left bank of the Wangath Rivulet, which is a tributary of the famous Sindh River, Naranag is a prominent tourist destination representing visuals that captivate both the hearts and souls of the onlookers. This small village falls in Ganderbal district and beholds the visitors with its stunning visuals. The village in itself is a valley which is home to several meadows, surrounded by beautiful mountains. It is the last village in the Wangath Valley.
It is said that during winters when the whole valley gets covered with snow, the place becomes a visual treat just like Gulmarg. It becomes a hot spot for skiing and other winter-based expeditions. This beautiful place is located about 50 kilometres from the capital city of Srinagar and is often referred to as “a trekker’s paradise”.
