I highly recommend going with Kashmir Treks

Kashmir Great Lakes Trek with Kashmir Treks is an experience, a memory that I cherish forever. The trek itself was breathtaking, with stunning views of snow-covered peaks, serene forests, and the surreal sunrise from Harmukh summit. Safety precautions were top-notch, and the entire team ensured we had the right gear, proper acclimatization, and clear instructions. If you’re planning this trek, I highly recommend going with this team for an unforgettable and hassle-free experience! 10/10 for safety, food, and overall organization. Would love to trek with them again!

A must visit trek and definitely with Kashmir Treks.

Kashmir Great Lakes is one one of the most scenic treks with mesmerizing views of the valleys and snow clad peaks. You never know what miracle is in store for you. Like the one we witnessed a one minute light show which we got to see around 530 pm in Nichnai. The mountains turned crimson red and the sky with different shades of red. The team - Younis and Ali were just outstanding. They took care of every single aspect and every moment ensured we are comfortable and enjoying. Have never heard the word 'not possible' or 'no' even in the remotest of the locations Logistics- They have taken care of the logistics end to end with probably the best transport and accommodation available . Stay- Best quality tents. Once you are inside the tent, its probably more comfortable than your bedroom. Camping locations are the best among all we have seen. We have seen the locations selected by other operators but the ones from Kashmir Treks has no match. We did carry our own sleeping bags but we used the one provided by Kashmir Treks. Clean comfortable and has the right space. At sub zero temperature i put on a thermal , half t-shirt and the sleeping bag. Food - not a single meal was repeated. To be honest the food motivated us to trek for those long hours. The team knows exactly when you are hungry and even before you ask would see some one from the team is ready with some delicious snack or food. A must visit trek and definitely with Kashmir Treks. Thanks team

Kashmir an unforgettable experience.

Our honeymoon in Kashmir with Kashmir Treks was an unforgettable experience. The stunning scenery, warm hospitality, and well-organized itinerary made it truly magical. Highlights included a serene houseboat stay on Dal Lake, a breathtaking trek to a high-altitude lake, and the vibrant local markets. Specifics: The hotels and houseboat were comfortable and clean, offering a good balance of luxury and local charm. The drivers were punctual, courteous, and knowledgeable about the region. The vehicles were comfortable and well-maintained. Our guide was incredibly informative and passionate about Kashmir. He shared fascinating insights into the local culture and history, making our experience more enriching. The itinerary was well-paced, allowing us to experience the highlights of Kashmir without feeling rushed. We particularly enjoyed the flexibility to customize parts of the trip to our interests. The food was delicious and varied, showcasing the best of Kashmiri cuisine. Recommendations: I highly recommend Kashmir Treks to anyone planning a trip to Kashmir. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to providing a memorable experience are truly commendable. Thanks.

The real Kashmir - paradise on earth!

This is the best trek we've done in India so far, surpassing Hampta, Goechala, Sandakhphu and Kuari Pass...... The organizers, Mehraz and his team were superb. We were received at the airport and then taken to Sonamarg , from where the trek began. Our guide and horsemen met us there, and the next few days were heaven on earth. fantastic views, beautiful landscapes and unbelievable lake vistas. The food though simple, was healthy and cooked well. Since we were just two, our guide Akhtar doubled up as a cook. The two others , Zakir and Sadaqat were very polite, helpful and always eager to help. Akhtar was patient, kept pace and had good conversations with us. They set up tents before we arrived each day at the camp site ensuring a smooth transition period. We felt taken care of. Towards the end , Sadaqat even went fishing and caught us some brown trout from the lake, which Akhtar cooked the final night. The equipment was satisfactory with some niggles with the inner zip of our tent which wouldn't close smoothly. However, the staff always came to help, and fixed that each time we called. The final day in Srinagar, they arranged a houseboat stay which was also a great experience. Overall, i would definitely hike again with KashmirTreks and Mehraz's team.

Excellent Great Lakes Trail

We arrived Srinagar in September, being our first visit we decided to do a walking tour. Absolutely no regrets. A wonderful 7 days we spent with great company. We were met warmly by Shakeel who drove us to the basecamp. Mudasir our guide gave us an initial introduction and information about the trek, he was so informative and fun. A real character who had such a vast knowledge of the Himalaya and Kashmir heritage. We began our hiking trip the very next day. Its a moderate trek not easy one. We enjoyed a lot at a slow pace we mixed ourselves with the surroundings that helped us to acclimatize. We made so many stops and we were in no rush. The guide Mudasar picked great locations for overnight camps, it was so quite and peaceful. Well done Mudasar. Thank you for introducing us to Kashmir and It all means so much more to us now and we loved it.
