About

Kashmir Great Lakes is often considered the most beautiful trek in India. It is easily the most beautiful, picture-perfect, postcard-worthy trek.

The Kashmir Great Lakes Trek transports you to a divine Ghati of Kashmir presenting
its untouched and serene beauty. The trek is set on a canvas that’s larger than life. It adds to the belief in Kashmir’s mythical status as heaven on earth.

Every day you are confronted by postcard-perfect meadows, 360° panorama views of wild, rugged mountains, and turquoise alpine lakes. This trek packs three high altitude passes, five very different valleys and six lakes. It has long trekking days switching steep ascents and descents. The range of landscape makes it a moderate-difficult trek covering over 6 days. 

Every day there is a rush and excitement of crossing a mountain pass day or reaching a summit. Each day brings a new meadow to explore and a new alpine lake to look forward to.

The challenge lies in building endurance and stamina needed to tackle the long distances (>10 kms) one needs to cover each day. But the challenges are worth it.
It’s not meant for a beginner who has no experience of high-altitude treks.

If you are a nature lover, put it on your bucket list ! Kashmir Great Lakes is a name that sets every trekker’s heart racing – and for good reason. It is a perfect combination of adventure and natural beauty and is a must-do for any trekking enthusiast.

How to reach Sonamarg ?

Srinagar reporting :

– Take a flight to Srinagar and reach by 10 am.
– Take a train to Jammu (260 km from Srinagar) then bus/taxi journey for 7-8 hrs to Srinagar.

If you’re coming by train/bus, we recommend you arrive a day earlier and stay at Srinagar. Staying at Srinagar gives you a well-deserved rest for the night. Plus some bonus sightseeing.

On your return, your trek ends at Naranag. We again arrange for transport for trekkers to reach Srinagar. You reach Srinagar between 6 to 7 pm.

Srinagar to Sonmarg :

– Pick up vehicles will be arranged at Dal lake gate number 01 between 12–02 pm.

– Your luggage deposit and trek briefing will happen at Sonamarg post lunch.

Sonamarg, which translates to Meadow of Gold, is the starting point of the KGL trek. The drive from Srinagar to Sonamarg is a short and pleasant one. Once you are out of the city, there is barely any traffic and beautiful views replace the cityscapes.

About half way into the journey, snow-capped mountains take over the horizon and sprawling, grassy meadows. The journey to Sonamarg is well worth a day trip from Srinagar !

The stay will be arranged in camps for the day. We will have a Team introduction after evening tea followed by an early dinner.
