The Kashmir Great Lakes Trek (KGL Trek) is often called the most beautiful trek in India, and for good reason. This 8-day Himalayan adventure takes you through some of the most untouched and surreal alpine landscapes in Kashmir, with every day unveiling a new high-altitude lake surrounded by snow-capped peaks, wildflower-filled meadows, and breathtaking valleys. From Vishansar to Gadsar, Satsar, Gangbal, and Nundkol, the KGL Trek 2025, organized by Himalayan Hikers, promises an unmatched experience for those craving natural beauty and pure mountain bliss.
The trail starts from Sonamarg and ends at Naranag, covering an altitude range of 13,000+ ft, making it a moderate to difficult trek, best suited for trekkers with prior experience or strong fitness. Along the route, you'll cross ridgelines, alpine passes, shepherd huts, and campsites so picturesque they look like they're out of a postcard. Each lake has a unique charm, with reflections of nearby peaks shimmering in their clear waters.
The best time for the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is between July and early September, when the snow has melted and the valleys are at their most vibrant. For complete itinerary, cost, and booking info, head over to the official KGL Trek page by Himalayan Hikers.
