The
first stop - Chandanwari lying at 10 km. distance from Pahalgam Is a
Mini valley girdled by tall mountain peak- with the famous Seshnag
stream rising from it perennially. And it boasts of its marvellous
snow bridge. It is a picnic spot visited by people throughout the
year. From here
one can see the lovely sights of snow capped mountains and silvery
streams leaping down to flow gurgling always. The confluence of
Asthan Marg, stream and Seshanag is visible from here. The forest
ends here, and ascent of Pishu Ghati begins. Iegend records that it
was called Peshna mount representing the heap of bones of demons who
were crushed down by gods with the help of Maheswar. It is an
enchanting sight that lives in memory for years. Then the party
passing via zozipal reaches Seshnag lying at a height of 11,730
feet. This emerald lake which remains covered till June is a worthy
sight. It is about 500 feet below the road there lies in the icy cap
of the Kohenhor the famous glaciar. It is ,fed by the waters of
melted snow from several glaciers. The Seshnag river starts from
herd and flows in beautiful cascades. It is said that, it is as
deep, as Patala, and the resort of Seshnaga. Crossing this, the
party arrives at Wavjan, the second halt of the marathon trek.
