The Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is often called the most beautiful trek in India, and for good reason. This 7-day adventure through the heart of Kashmir Valley takes you across high alpine passes, rolling meadows, and some of the most breathtaking lakes in the Himalayas—like Vishansar, Gadsar, Satsar, Gangbal, and Nundkol. At altitudes reaching over 13,000 ft, the KGL Trek 2025, curated by Himalayan Hikers, promises surreal beauty with every step.

Starting from Sonamarg and ending near Naranag, the trail offers a true wilderness experience, far from civilization. Expect crystal-clear lakes reflecting snow-clad peaks, grazing horses in vast grasslands, and colorful wildflowers lining your path. It's a moderate to difficult trek, recommended for those with some prior experience or good fitness levels.

The best time for Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is from July to early September, when the valley is in full bloom and the weather is most favorable. If you’re dreaming of walking through postcard-perfect landscapes, this is the trek for you.
