The Kashmir Lake Trek must be one of the most beautiful treks in the world covering 6 main mountain lakes and numerous other small ones. The trek covers 60 km over a 7 day period touching a high point of 13,750ft. – cut off from mobile phones, emails and landlines.
The trek starts from Sonamarg (www.jktdc.in/destinations/sonmarg.html), a 3 hour drive from Srinagar. We arrived in Srinagar on Day 0 of the trek and drove up to Sonamarg where the base camp had been established at a height of 8,000 ft.
