KASHMIR GREAT LAKES TREKKING
Durgjan, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India
Kashmir Great Lakes is one of the most beautiful treks in India. No question. It validates Kashmir’s mythical status as heaven on earth. This is because the trek is set in a canvas that’s larger than life. Every day is a 70 degree panorama of wild, rugged mountains, rolling meadows and turquoise alpine lakes. And you get more than seven of these lakes and five very different valleys to explore! Each day is postcard perfect, with a new alpine lake to look forward to. What makes these lakes even prettier are the snow patches that feed these lakes. You see them sliding off the serrated mountain into the lakes. Sometimes you’ll see milky white icebergs floating on the lake’s inky blue surface. And then there are meadows of Kashmir. These meadows come in every shape and size, sometimes many in a day.
