Camping
An overnight camping experience near Naranag, close to ancient temple ruins and mountain scenery away from the standard circuit.
A Night Away From Hotels
Naranag offers something genuinely different from the rest of a standard Kashmir trip — a night under the stars near centuries-old temple ruins.
A Night Away From The Standard Circuit
Naranag sits near Kangan, away from Kashmir's usual tourist stops, and is known for the ancient temple ruins scattered across the site alongside genuinely scenic mountain surroundings. Camping here gives a very different pace from hotel-based sightseeing.
The Setting
The ruins at Naranag date back centuries, and the area itself sits at the base of routes leading further into the mountains. Even without continuing on any trek, the immediate surroundings are worth the trip on their own.
Who This Suits
This is a good fit for travellers who want one night genuinely away from hotels and houseboats — not physically demanding, but a different kind of experience from the rest of a standard Kashmir circuit.
What's Provided & What To Bring
Camping equipment is arranged as part of the booking, but warm layers for the evening and early morning are worth packing yourself — temperatures drop noticeably after dark even when the day has been mild. A torch or headlamp is genuinely useful given how dark the site gets away from any town lighting.
Given the remote setting, this works best added onto a Kashmir trip with some flexibility in the schedule, rather than squeezed into a single tightly-booked day.
