Kashmir Great Lakes Trek

This itinerary is 11 days and 10 nights from Delhi back to Delhi. It includes flights and road transfers in the schedule, a base-camp preparation day and six walking days between Sonamarg and Naranag. A shorter Srinagar-based arrangement can be discussed separately.

The six walking stages listed here add up to approximately 70 km. Daily distances are estimates; campsite selection, access and conditions can change the total. The travel days in Delhi and Srinagar are separate from the walking distance.

Expect a moderate-to-challenging high-altitude trek with sustained walking, rocky pass crossings and a long final descent. The listed stages take roughly five to six-and-a-half hours before extra breaks. Previous trekking experience and preparation are helpful; discuss your recent walking experience with our team.

The itinerary crosses Gadsar Pass at approximately 4,200 m. Camp heights and pass measurements are approximate. The Sonamarg base-camp day gives time for briefing and a gradual start, but altitude still affects each person differently.

The usual trekking window is July to early September. Snowmelt, weather, access permissions and local conditions determine whether a particular departure can operate. Ask our team to confirm the proposed route and dates before arranging travel.

The route passes the Vishansar and Krishansar area, Gadsar, the Satsar lake group, and the Gangabal and Nundkol twin lakes. Exact lakeside access and walking order depend on conditions and the trek leader’s route plan.

The price is available on request. Share your dates, group size and preferred travel arrangements for a written quotation. Confirm hotel and camp accommodation, meals, guides, transfers, flights, permits and equipment in that quotation before booking.

The itinerary schedules Delhi–Srinagar and Srinagar–Delhi flights, but a flight appearing in the schedule does not confirm that its fare is included. Ask for flight inclusions, baggage limits and booking responsibilities in your written quote.

A Srinagar-based joining arrangement can be discussed with the team. It changes the overall trip duration, airport transfers and inclusions, so request a revised itinerary and quotation rather than assuming the Delhi package applies.

The itinerary uses hotels in Delhi and Srinagar and tented camps on the mountain route. Confirm room and tent sharing, sleeping bags, mats, toilet arrangements and luggage support with the team. Bring worn-in trekking boots, layered clothing, rain protection and a headtorch; request the final kit list before departure.

The trek leader may change camps, timings or the route when conditions require it. Confirm contingency arrangements, extra-day costs and cancellation terms before booking. Keep onward travel flexible enough for the mountain itinerary.
