Why is Kashmir Great Lakes a Must-Do Trek?



  • As the name says, the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek takes you through the most beautiful lakes in Kashmir, surrounded with towering mountains and rolling vast meadows.

  • During the trek you will explore five major glacial lakes of Kashmir, including Gadsar, Vishansar, Krishansar, Nundkol and Gangabal. Apart from these five you will come across few other serene glacial lakes and cascading waterfalls during the trek which are equally beautiful.

  • Trekking through the vast meadows during this trek feels like walking through living paintings. The valleys, gurgling streams, and lush meadows dotted with shepherd huts paint a postcard-perfect landscape.

  • As you trek, the scenery transitions between rolling green hills and slightly rocky terrains. It also offers you panoramic vistas of snow- capped Himalayan peaks.

  • You will also traverse through high altitude passes like Gadsar Pass, Zaj Pass and Nichnai Pass that offer unbeatable views, and also adds a touch of adventure to your beautiful journey.

  • The trek has the most picture- perfect settings you will ever witness. The golden reflections of the mountains in the lake, the colorful carpets of wildflowers and the rugged landscapes make it a paradise for photographers.



  • The trail is also home to diverse flora and fauna. You'll encounter a wide variety of vibrant blooming flowers like daisies and blue poppies as well as wildlife and migratory birds.

  • Far from the bustling cities, the Kashmir Great Lakes trek offers solitude and a chance to reconnect with nature. It's an ideal destination for trekking in India.
