Yusmarg
Yusmarg is a small meadow set in the heart of mountains to the south-west of Srinagar.
It is an ideal picnic spot and the Nilnag Lake can be visited from here. A two hour
drive from Srinagar ( 47 kms ) will take you to acres upon acres of grassy meadow
ringed by forests of pine, and towering beyond them, awesome and majestic snow clad
mountains.
Nearby are several peaks-Tatta Kutti and Sang Safed to name a couple of them. About
13 kms from Yusmarg, a short detour away from the Srinagar road, is Charari- Sharief,
the Shrine of Kashmir’s patron saint Sheikh Noor-ud-din or Nund Reshi, now rebuilt
after the devastating fire of 1994 which engulfed the entire building.
