Event Overview
If there is ever heaven on earth, it's here, it's here, it's here! This famous sentence, quoted by Mughal Emperor Jahangir hundreds of years ago, still stands true and unfailing, albeit the time and age. Kashmir Valley is the beautiful crown adorned on top of India. Some say it is a paradise on earth, others say it is a paradise by itself.
Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is considered by far the best trekking one can experience. The trek is a seven day expedition, starting from Srinagar and ending with Naranag. The season to enjoy the trek is from June to August since the places will be filled with lush greens and covered with beautiful flowers. Day 1 starts the journey at Sonamarg headed towards Nichnai. Sonamarg is situated near the Nallah Sindh River and has some beautiful peaks like the Sirbal, Kolhoi, Amarnath, and Machoi. You can camp in Shekdur before continuing the trek to Nichnai. Day 2 you head towards Vishansar Lake. Trekking in Kashmir becomes interesting from here. This day you'll cross the Nichnai pass or the Vishansar Berry. The lake is beautiful, still deep blue in color that gives pleasant warmth in heart. Here you'll view waterfalls, meadows filled with deep red flowers and snow clad peaks. The Vishansar Lake is huge and nestled between four mountains. Day 3, you trek to Gadsar via Krishansar Lake and Gadsar pass. Krishansar Lake is a long stretch of stream, gurgling water and if you move upwards, you'll be connected to Vishansar Lake. On top of the ridge is the Gadsar pass from where you can observe the twin lakes.
You will trek towards Satsar on Day 4th. Some of the sceneries you will observe are captivating mountains and the collection of seven lakes. On Day 5, you will arrive at the twin lakes of Gangabal, situated in the foothills of Mt. Haramukh.
