A unique ciruit trek in Kashmir where we visit the base camp of the highest mountain in the Kashmir Valley - Mt.Kolahoi. The trail then leads you the shores of the incredible alpine lakes of Tarsar and Marsar. This is a unique itinerary which takes you from the Lidder Valley in Pahalgam to the Sind Valley near Sonmarg over the Sonmasti Pass (4100m). This trek takes you through some of the most beautiful alpine lakes, high altitude meadows, and breathtaking landscapes that the Himalayas has to offer. The trail which starts from Aru in the Pahalgam valley to the east of Srinagar, passes through pristine mountain terrain of the Kashmir Himalaya, offering stunning views of snow-capped mountains, deep valleys, and lush green forests. If you ever wanted to get a taste of Kashmir, this trek serves you a full platter!
