The most popular trek in Kashmir, Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is one of the Top Treks in India. The stellar beauty of five alpine lakes lapped in the dreamscape of Kashmir. The trail of this Himalayan Trekking leads you through five alpine lakes, each as beautiful as the other. What’s more interesting is that you get to see these lakes just as they are being fed by the snow-clad mountains. Every day brings a new meadow to explore. The trek to the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek will provide to the trekkers a perfect flavour of all hues of terrain- innumerable meadows, snow clad glaciers and pinnacles, passes, rocky barren lands, struggling streams. The trail to the Great Lakes is worth trekking.
