Details
Note: 2026 KGL Trek season is cancelled as authorities have not issued permits for this year. We understand this may be disappointing, but safety and compliance remain our top priority.
The Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is one of the most scenic and rewarding treks in India, offering a perfect blend of adventure and serenity. Over the course of seven days, trekkers trail through alpine meadows, snow-clad peaks, and pristine blue lakes that sparkle like gems in the Himalayas.

Along the way, seven magnificent glacial lakes reveal themselves, each framed by towering mountains and wildflower meadows.
Led by the Certified Ramblers India Team alongside experienced local staff, this trek ensures safety, authenticity, and a true backpacker-style experience. Shared tents at scenic locations, creating a raw and immersive connection with the outdoors.
