Kashmir, also known as the paradise on Earth is famous for its breathtaking landscapes, beautiful meadows and pristine lakes. Amongst the numerous trekking routes in this wonderland is the Kashmir Great Lakes trek. This trek is one of the most popular treks of our country that offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience to the trekkers and create memories that will last forever.
Kashmir Great Lakes trek is a 75 km long trek which starts from the village Shitkadi, situated approximately 5 km before Sonmarg. This is a very challenging trek with steep ascents and descents, rugged hills, and vast meadows. Hence, this trek is not recommended for those who do not have experience in trekking at high altitudes.
The Kashmir Great Lakes trek is a physically and mentally challenging trek with a total elevation of approximately 13,000 feet above sea level. Hence, one needs to be extremely fit to do this trek. A regular fitness regime which includes cycling, walking, running, functional training etc. is very important to prepare yourself for this trek.
The Kashmir Great Lakes trek is a moderate to difficult trek and can be completed in 8 to 9 days starting from Srinagar and back to Srinagar. This trek covers 6 alpine lakes - Vishansar, Kishansar, Gadsar, Satsar, Gangabal, and Nandkol. All these lakes offer stunning views of the Kashmir valley and at times one can also see milky white icebergs floating on the lake’s surface. The best time to do this trek is between July to September because the climate is quite pleasant throughout the day and you will get to see mesmerizing views of the Kashmir valley throughout the trek.
