Enjoy the company of lush wooded pine forests on a day's walk to Shiv Garh. It is a starting point for long and short treks to nearby mountains and makes for a rich experience. Around 11 km away from Patnitop, Shiv Garh is quite peaceful, and offers splendid views of the mountain towns of Kud and Batote. As you drive down the road, the mighty Himalayas seem to accompany you on your journey, and the sun plays hide and seek amidst the tall pine trees. Since it is still known only to a few intrepid travellers, chances are you will not be disturbed. In summer, the temperature ranges from 7 -30 degree Celsius, which is quite pleasant for an invigorating trek, but dips considerably in winter, from -2 – 18 degree Celsius.
A picturesque trek with view of the snow-clad mountain ranges, lush green landscapes and fresh air. The trek to Samasar ( jammu province) to Shankhpal is a mix of well carved path, ridges and steep climb, but breathtaking nonetheless. Took us roughly 8.5 hours to complete the trek to and fro. Shankh Pal is the spiritual deity of Lander region. A temple dedicated to this deity is located at the highest point on the Shankh Pal ridge. Situated at an altitude of 2,897 metres, the temple is just a few hours' walk away from Sanasar. Locals maintain that the original temple was over 400 years old and that no mortar was used to build the temple. This is a 6.5 kilometre, moderately difficult trek with a 3.5 hours ascent and a 2.5 hours descent.
Sanasar also falls in the way of a number of trekking trails. The trekking trails of Ladoo Ladi is a modest nature walk of about 4km from Madhatop. One can also trek their way to Shanta Gala which is a pass on the Shanta ridge and offers the view of the Panchari valley, on the other side of the ridge. Sanasar is a kind of place which is a must-visit and must explore destination owing to its rich natural aura. It won’t be wrong to consider this place as one of the hidden gems of Kashmir. From paragliding to camping to trekking, there are just too many options for a tourist to discover Sanasar in a completely new dimension and in a completely new light, every time they visit this place. The best time to visit Sanasar is from the months of May to June and September to October. The overall weather conditions during this time in Sanasar are very pleasant and comfortable for travelling around.
