The Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is a popular high-altitude trek in the Indian Himalayas, located in the Kashmir region of Jammu and Kashmir. The trek takes you through beautiful meadows, pine forests, and high-altitude lakes, offering stunning views of snow-capped peaks along the way.
The trek usually starts from the town of Sonamarg and covers a distance of approximately 72 kilometers over a period of 7 days. The highest point of the trek is Gadsar Pass at an altitude of 13,750 feet.
The major highlights of the trek include the beautiful high-altitude lakes such as Gangabal Lake, Vishansar Lake, and Gadsar Lake, along with breathtaking views of the Himalayas, including the famous Kolhoi and Harmukh peaks.
The trek is considered moderately difficult, with a few steep climbs and descents along the way. However, it is suitable for most fit and experienced trekkers, as well as those who are new to high-altitude trekking. The best time to undertake the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is from July to September when the weather is clear and the skies are usually blue.
A drive from Srinagar TRC to Shitkadi which is a few Kms away from Sonmarg. The trek will start from this point from next morning.
A beautiful trek via Shekdur up to Nichnai marks a new level of grace to this activity. We retire for the night at Nichnai to be ready for the next day’s excitement.
A trek of around 13 Kms leads us to twin sister lakes named Vishnusar and Kishnsar Lakes. We explore both lakes along with the beautiful meadows en route and take a rest to be fresh for the next day’s start.
A trek of about 15 Kms via Gadsar pass takes us to yet another beautiful lake named Gadsar Lake. Kindly keep all your identification cards with you at all times, there might be checking at this spot. We retire here for the night.
A trek of about 12 kms takes us to another wonderful Lake named Satsar Lake. We camp here for another night to be ready for the next day’s trek to Gangbal Twin Lakes.
A 9 Kms trek finally takes us to our final twin lakes known for their beauty. We camp here for the last night.
We say our goodbyes to the wonderful trek as we leave for Naranag where we will start our drive back to home, where on our cozy beds we will dream about our next beautiful trip/activity with Alp Savy.
