About The Tour

The Naranag temple is the main attraction for the tourists. It is one of the important archaeological sites of the country. The site consists of a cluster of temples facing each other at a distance of about 200 meters. Historians say that the temple is dedicated to Shiva and was built by Lalitaditya Muktapida, of the Kayastha Naga Karkota Dynasty in the 8th century AD. It is believed that the king Awantivarman paid a visit and donated a pedestal for bathing at Bhuteshwar (“Bhutsher”). It is also believed to be dedicated to the ancient Nagas. Hence, the name “Naranag”. It was built by the Naga Karkotas, who are said to be Hindu Kashmiri Kayasthas of the Naga sect, known for their reverence of serpents. They used to stay here and do their sadhanas. Its architecture reveals the art of the 8th century. The government has only constructed walls to protect it from encroachments and nothing else has been done. It is now left in ruins of which only faint traces have survived. This temple has the typical Aryan structure as was present in Aryan Kashmir.

Our standard routes on each tour are designed for the average recreational cyclist. That said, almost every tour allows for added distance for those with extra energy. On many tour routes, we’ll suggest optional longer rides.
For our tours in the Kashmir and Ladakh regions listed on our website, we design routes that not only showcase scenic and must-see spots but also prioritize safety. We carefully select the best cycling options, avoiding roads with significant vehicle traffic and opting for quiet backroads instead. In some itineraries, you may need to cross busy intersections or share the road with traffic for short stretches. When this occurs, we always look for bike lanes or the safest routes.
Most of our routes use paved roads and bike lanes. We stay informed about road conditions and adapt our routes if we become aware of any deterioration or construction. Some itineraries may include bike paths or backroads with stretches of hard-packed dirt or gravel (non-technical). Please check the tour webpage for details. We also offer custom itineraries and tour packages throughout Kashmir. The road conditions and terrain will vary based on your custom tour request, so please refer to your specific itinerary for details.
