Mahadev Peak is a mountain peak in the vicinity of New Theed in Srinagar District of Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. It is part of the Zabarwan Range. It is visible in most parts of Srinagar city.[1] It is also known as the peak of Srinagar. It is covered with snow for almost half of the year. The Tarsar and Marsar lakes lie on the eastern side of this mountain. Other than Mahadev peak, places like Mamneth, Astanmarg, Ledwas, Burzwas, are well known among the trekkers.

Route

[edit]

It can be climbed through Faqir Gujri, near Scholars' School, Dara Theed Harwan. The trek can be both a day trek as well as a night trek with a night stay at Ledwas. The trek has moderate difficulty. We have to cross several small streams on our way to Ledwas, which is always enjoyable. Nomads can be seen grazing the cattle with their horses carrying essentials.
