It was the very special day, special festival Eid ul Adha or Bakr id of Muslims. On this occasion a male goat is sacrificed and the meat is distributed among neighbours, relatives and friends. After completing the meat distribution all the youngester's of my village making plans for trips to different parts of the valley.

I myself and my associates making trip plan to kausar nag ( Oligotrophic lake at high altitude). As a head it takes me a full day to make a trip plan, to Kausar Nag, now the question arises? What is Kausar Nag and Where it is?.

Kausar Nag

Kausar Nag is high Oligotrophic lake located at an elevation of 3962.4 meters above the sea level.(source wiki).

Next morning I wake up early in the morning around 5:10 am, after that paked my things then I called all the members to congregate in one place after that we have to go for 10 days long trekking tour.

All the members of the group assemble and then I deliver the rules and regulation of the tour, ups and downs of the tour so be cautious and be sensible, because I was the the head of the family. Then I prepared list for the edible things for 11 members for 10 days which we had to consume for days. It's because Kausar Nag is located at an elevation where there is no shop and no means of communication available.

Kausar nag is located in the Pir Panjal range in district kulgam of Jammu and Kashmir. The lake is 3km long and 0.75 km at widest point. This lake is considered sacred in Hinduism (source wiki).

Tour is ready guys first we have to reach at point Aharbal 14.2 Kms far away from my home and 32 minutes ride in car via Burhalan sedow road. After reaching Aharbal. Now we have to achieve next stop kongwattan a beautiful meadow preserved by nature we start walking all the members but unfortunately some little members @owais and @afnan lack trekking stamina at the very first point then I decide and pay fare for horse for my little members and their belongings.

It takes us 3 hours to reach kongwattan on the way I personally observe nature very deeply how how Almighty Allah has created the beautiful Deodar trees, water falls, medicinal plants and the edge shaped mountains looking gorgeous.

We stayed at kongwattan for a night we placed well decathlon quechuea camping tent for 11 members. At around 11 pm when I was making dinner for the members. Suddenly there was fast shouting out side woohhh woohhh oh no there is snake I replied don't worry it is the creation of God then I pick up a stick and divert attention of the, after that all had dinner and left for sleep.

Next morning we wake up and had a cup of tea,and packed belongings. Because it was the trekking of 35 km return of the day from kongwattan to Kausar nag.
