Description: The Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is a spectacular journey through the heart of Kashmir’s alpine paradise. Your adventure with Himalaya Shelter begins from Sonamarg, a scenic drive away from Srinagar. From Sonamarg, the trek steadily climbs to the lush meadows of Nichnai, surrounded by birch forests and glacial streams.

Each day unveils a new lake nestled amidst towering snow-capped peaks, expansive meadows, and colorful Himalayan flora. The trail offers challenging ascents and descents, especially across Gadsar Pass and Zaj Pass, rewarding trekkers with sweeping panoramic views. With Himalaya Shelter, the entire journey is made seamless and enriching. Their team handles everything—from safety and acclimatization to comfortable campsites and wholesome meals.
