Yusmarg

Yusmarg in Kashmiri means The Meadow of Jesus. It is believed by the natives that Jesus came to Kashmir and stayed at Yusmarg for some time.

Yusmarg mesmerizes tourists with its scenic meadows, a sparkling reservoir and mountains comparable to European Alps. It has some of the highest peaks in Pir-Panchal range.

Local attractions include:

River Doodhganga: Frothing and crashing on its way over the rocks, the river makes a little white foam, which gives it this name

Nilnag, the bluewater lake amidst pine trees, near a Hamlet gives ultimate pleasure to visitor.

Treking to frozen lake in Sang-e-Safed valley 10 Km from Yusmarg is a quite fascinating one. Most of the portion of the lake is covered under ice throughout the year.

At a distance of about 13 Km from Yusmarg is the Chrar-i-Sharief, the shrine of the saint Sheikh Noor-ud-Din or Nund Reshi.
