Located at an altitude of 3100 mtr, tosamaidan is a breath-taking gem in the heart of Pir Panjal mountain ranges. Tosamaidan, being a meadow, is an ideal place for camping. A summer meadow frequented by the shepherds and herders with their flock of sheep and cattle; this verdant landscape leaves even Gulmarg far behind in scenic beauty. The region finds mention in historical documents like Tuzk-e-Jahangiri and also in the Memoirs of foreign travelers like Hieun Tsang and Fa Hien. The peaks of shin Mahinu (4612 mtr) and Shiv nag (4359 mtr) in tosamaidan offer majestic views. In and around these ridges, peaks and slopes, there are quite a few water bodies. Our journey from Tosamaidan takes us to can the high-altitude sparkling lakes like Damam sar (4100 m), Gadtar-sar, Bodh (big) Gadtasar, Sandooq (closet) Sar, Bante (pebble) sar through picturesque trekking trails. |*sar- Lake| On the other hand, these lakes also feed many nullahs that merge to form the Sukhnag river. The villages located at the foot hill of Pir Panjal like Sutharan, Drang, Chill Brass, Zugu Kharyal, Rengzabal, Yari Khah offer insight to the simple rural life of Kashmir and here tourists get to experience the rural life in its real colors. Maize and Rice are the pre-dominant crops cultivated by the locals. Horticulture products like apple and walnut also supplement the rural economy.
