Type of destination: Natural Attraction

Closed in: Winter months due to heavy snowfall

Banibal Nag or Banibal Lake is a lesser-known alpine water body located in the upper reaches of the Kashmir Valley, in the Indian Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It's nestled in the serene setting of the Himalayan mountain range, offering an untainted natural splendor. Banibal Nag is a frozen lake for the most part of the year due to high altitude and cold temperature. Surrounding the lake, the landscape is dotted with a diverse range of flora and fauna, making it a scenic spot for photographers and nature enthusiasts. The lake is accessed through a trek which can be both challenging and rewarding, as it involves navigating through the rugged terrains at high altitudes. The pristine environment around the lake is often quiet and secluded, offering a peaceful retreat away from the clamor of city life. As it is not commercially developed, the area around Banibal Nag retains a raw and unspoiled beauty.
