- Sheshnag Lake is a high-altitude lake with low protoctist content and high-quality clear water. It's home to many fish species, along with brown trout. The lake appears green thanks to its lush green meadows surrounding it, creating a wide-ranging beauty to admire.
- The lake is considered one of the most stunning sights of Jammu and Kashmir. There are numerous mythological stories associated with the lake, but the most commonly believed is that Sheshnag Lake belongs primarily to Sheshnag, the lord of the snakes, and is alleged to have been dug by the lord himself. Since its presence on the way to the Holy Amarnath Cave, Sheshnag Lake is also a sacred pilgrimage site.
- The trekking route towards it is incredibly scenic and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and huge grasslands. This trail begins from Laripora Village, which can be reached by various different modes of transports such as buses, taxis, cabs, or private vehicles.
