Text Appearing Before Image:
he range,whose graceful conical forms, the lower shoulders of whichare mantled with perpetual snow, tower up to a height of15,500 feet. Four thousand feet lower down, nestling attheir base, lies the turquoise-blue Konsa Nag, a glacier-fedlake 3 miles in length (Plate 2). This is the source of theVeshau River. The ascent to Konsa Nag is made from nearShupeyon, up a long valley past the fine Haribal Falls. Thefinal climb is for 300 feet up a grass-covered moraine. Thelake then comes into view, lying in a hollow on the southside of the main peaks. Along the slopes of the great mountain range whichbounds Kashmir to the south there is a continuous series of margs, between seven and nine thousand feet above sea-level. These are stretches of upland flowery meadowoccupying the depressions between the fir-covered slopesand ridges of the higher foot-hills and the crest of the mainrange. The exact mode of formation of these margs is notquite evident. No doubt originally they were glacier-filled,

THE VALE OF KASHMIR 21 and even now the winter snow lingers on in their trough-likehollows. But they have rich soil, and it is not clear as to whythey have not become covered by the forest which bordersthem, and which in many places has sent out little groupsand lines of firs and pines which stand out boldly in the midstof the pasturage around. At present the extensive grazingof herds and flocks, especially of goats, is fatal to the growthof young trees. Gulmarg, the favourite summer resort of Europeans,with its church, hotel and bazaar, its club, polo-ground,golf links and its numerous wooden huts, is one of many ofthese green valleys with undulating slopes. Situated 3000feet above the valley level, its climate is delightful. To thisand its accessibility it owes its selection and popularity,for it is only 30 miles by road from Srinagar. Some of thehouses are built on the long fir-clothed ridge which over-looks the plain. From Gulmarg there is a magnificent viewof the valley of Kashmi
