Temple ruins on the trekkers' trail
Naranag pairs grey-stone temple ruins from the 8th century with the trailhead to Gangabal lake under Mount Harmukh. The Wangath river roars past the ancient Shiva complex, Gujjar huts climb the slopes behind, and trekkers bound for the Kashmir Great Lakes lace their boots here.
