Increased love for trekking over the past few years has proved that not everyone is meant to be fit in the Urban Jungle. It is good news that people do not travel to reach a specific destination anymore but experience a complete journey which is more authentic and connected to culture.
Talking about which, we are excited to announce the most loved trek-Kashmir Great Lakes Trek, happening this summer between July and September.
One of India’s most beautiful and well-traveled hiking trails, the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek offers the ideal fusion of adventure, culture, and nature. Not just one, but here are 8 strong reasons why you must experience the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek once in your lifetime:
Heavenly Divine Beauty
Every step of the trek will be worthwhile as you continue through the world’s most breathtaking and pristine scenery. The hike passes through dense forests, snow-capped summits, stunning alpine lakes, and lush meadows.
Crystalline Alpine Lakes
So what awaits you there other than peaks and lush green meadows? Snow-caped hills, famous for their pristine beauty, reflected in glistening lakes like Vishansar, Krishansar, and Gadsar will surely make your trek journey mystic and breathtaking.
Challenging Escape from Routine
Take a break from your routine life and join us on this moderate to difficult terrain. Navigating through a variety of landscapes, such as alpine meadows, steep climbs, and rocky routes will bring an adrenaline rush for thrill seekers.
Witness Flora and Fauna
Kashmir’s Great Lakes introduce you to lush vegetation and diverse wildlife. Summer months are the best time to witness a variety of alpine flowers that bloom during those months.
The sight of Himalayan brown bears, snow leopards, and various bird species (both local and migratory) like monal and golden eagle is normal.
Learning Local Culture
Immerse yourself in rich Kashmiri culture by meeting local people. These people have been living remote lives for ages and learning about their nomadic shepherd life will add a cultural dimension to your trip.
Off Beat Escape
Unwinding in a place without getting into a large crowd and making a trip is pleasant something we all crave. Most trekking destinations experience crowds during the peak season. However, the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek has relatively less rush, providing a more serene experience.
A High Altitudes Trek
A once-in-a-lifetime high-altitude trek that reaches altitudes of over 4,000 meters, surrounded by the Pir Panjal Range is something our trekkers would be proud of. Spectacular views after reaching the height will give a surreal sense of accomplishment.
Photographers-In Love With Nature Photography

It must be clear by now that the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is not just about testing your physical fitness but also an intense journey of spiritual and emotional awakening. We are saying this because the journey you take with us, entailing the beauty of the lakes and challenging terrain, will eventually give you the sense of triumph, making it a memory of a lifetime.
