**footnotes:--**
Wheat, corn & apples are the primary produces of Karsog Valley. It is these farms that give the valley a lush green carpet like appearance.
There are several ancient temples dating back to the Mahabharata/Ramayana era that dot Karsog Valley. Mamleshwar, Kamaksha Devi, Shikari Devi, Mahunag, Chandika Devi, are some of the popular ones.
The name Karsog is derived from Kar Shok (mourning). Local folklore says, the Pandavas spent their Van Vaas in these parts. Numerous temples that dot the region dating back to about the same era, somewhat corroborate this theory.
