I recently completed the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek, and it was an experience of a lifetime! If you’re looking for a trek that combines breathtaking scenery with a challenging but rewarding adventure, KGL is the one for you. Here’s a quick rundown of what makes this trek so special:
Stunning Alpine Lakes: The trek takes you through some of the most beautiful high-altitude lakes, including Vishansar, Kishansar, Gadsar, and Nundkol. Each lake has its unique charm and crystal-clear waters.
Diverse Landscapes: From lush meadows and dense forests to rocky terrains and snow-covered passes, the trek offers a variety of landscapes that will leave you in awe.
Panoramic Views: The trek reaches an altitude of 13,800 feet, providing stunning views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks.
The best time to undertake the KGL Trek is from July to September when the weather is pleasant, and the trails are most accessible. The alpine meadows are in full bloom during this time, adding to the trek’s beauty.
The trek is moderate to challenging, perfect for seasoned trekkers looking for a bit of adventure. The six to seven-day journey covers about 68 kilometers, and every step is worth the effort.
