Kashmir Great Lakes Trek Package
The Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is considered one of the most beautiful and rewarding treks in India, often described as a trek straight out of a fairy tale. Situated in the heart of Jammu & Kashmir, this trek takes you across seven pristine alpine lakes, each more enchanting than the last. The shimmering waters of Vishansar, Krishansar, Gadsar, Satsar, Gangbal, and Nundkol Lakes, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and lush meadows, create postcard-perfect scenery at every step. Trekking at an altitude of 13,750 ft (4,190 m), this journey offers trekkers a surreal experience of Kashmir’s untouched beauty.
Located in the Himalayas of Kashmir, this trek is a true paradise for nature lovers, adventure enthusiasts, and photographers. During the trail, you will pass through alpine forests, vast meadows filled with wildflowers, glacial valleys, and high-altitude passes. The lakes often reflect the towering peaks around them, making them look magical under the sunlight. This trek is unique because it offers a perfect blend of serenity and thrill – a long-distance high-altitude trek that challenges your stamina while rewarding you with unmatched Himalayan landscapes.
The Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is graded as moderate to difficult, making it best suited for trekkers with some prior experience. The terrain involves steep ascents and descents, river crossings, and long walking hours, but every bit of effort is worth it. With each passing day, trekkers discover new lakes, valleys, and high ridges, keeping the excitement alive throughout. Camping by the lakes under star-studded skies is an unforgettable experience that makes this trek truly magical.
