The Great Lakes Trek is about a week-long trek with five days of ascent and a day's descent. The journey uphill itself is not marked by a continuous ascent but alternating ascents and descents through three splendidly high-altitude passes, namely the Nichnai (4115 meters), Gadsar (4206 meters), and Zaj (4140 meters) Pass. The Kashmir Great Lakes Trek price is not exorbitant- such a singularly beautiful trek experience can be arranged within USD 161 to 175 (INR 12,000 to 13,000) per person, and even lesser if you make all arrangements by yourself.

The unique characteristic of the Great Lakes trek is its diverse features. Most trek routes are lined with lush-green meadows that are dotted with vivid wildflowers throughout. However, the meadows are bounded on all sides by majestic mountain ranges, the snow from whose peaks run down in glaciers and collect in the resplendent lakes you find along the route. The trek route has more than a dozen alpine lakes. Camping on the side of these lakes amidst the mountain ranges and shades of green flora will be the experience of a lifetime.

The trek starts off from Sonamarg (2730 meters), which is a three-hour car ride from Srinagar. Sonamarg is a tourist spot and offers its own distinct attractions. Moving out of civilization slowly towards the remoteness of Gadsar and Sat Sar, where you will only receive the occasional company of shepherds, can be amply rewarding. This trek is classified as a moderate to difficult trek involving 8 hours' worth of climb on an average each day. Read on to find out in detail about every aspect of this much sought-after trek.
