Overview
The Kashmir Great Lakes Trek takes you to a heavenly, previously undiscovered aspect of Kashmir that is fitting for its moniker, “Heaven on Earth.” This is the only trek in the Himalayas that, in an amazing eight days, includes three high altitude passes, five river valley crossings, and seven alpine lakes with breathtaking shades of green, blue, and turquoise!
You encounter limitless, majestic, and breathtakingly stunning splendor every day: azure sky that never stop, a jaw-dropping view of craggy mountains, vibrant meadows full of wildflowers, river crossings, and boulder hopping—the KGL journey offers an abundance of options!
The track, which reaches an elevation of 4,206 meters, alternates between ascents and descents on most days, making it rather simple to follow. The main difficulty is developing the endurance required to go the lengthy distances (10 km or more) one must travel every day.
The 69-kilometer journey is a great option for novice hikers who want to get more experienced in the Himalayas. For experienced hikers as well, we suggest this walk because of its breathtaking beauty and opulence rather than its difficulties.
