Margan Top or Margan Pass is a mountain pass, connecting Warwan Valley in Kishtwar District with the main Kashmir Valley. It is located south of Anantnag district in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.

Choharnag
Chohar Nag is a beautiful valley situated above Margan top in south Kashmir about 50 km from Kokernag at an altitude of 15000 feet. The valley comprises of attractive meadows and four beautiful springs surrounded by rocky- mountains. “Chohar Nag” in Kashmiri epithet means four springs. There is a Kashmiri myth about the four springs of Chohar Nag. It is said these are three sons and their mother, two of the sons are living separately and the younger one is living with his mother. But in reality we see four beautiful lakes rather than springs, two located side by side just 150 to 200 meters apart and the other two located far apart from each other. Out of these four lakes one is large with an area of about 1½ sq. km. Adjacent to this, is another lake with an area of about ½ sq. km, the area of other two lakes is about 1 sq. km each. All the lakes are oligotropic with crystal clear water. The big meadows and the rocky mountains are rich in biodiversity.
