This charming lake, located at about 70kms from Srinagar (between Achabal and Verinag), is shaped like a right foot – with five toes and a heel and thus in ancient times was given the name of Vishnu Pad. In the distance you can spy the sacred Brahma Shakri peaks, and at the same time enjoy the beauty of the water, which is said to have healing and digestive properties. “Koker”, in Kashmiri means chicken, and as the water pours forth from a forested hill and divides into channels, it is said to resemble a claw-foot of a chicken, thereby giving it its more modern name of Kokernag. Trout fishing in Kokernag is the most popular activity.
