Trip costA region that has attracted scholars, saints, aestheticians and travellers from across the world for as long as history has been documented, Kashmir is the crown jewel of Indian Himalaya. A sacred land between Pir Panjal range on the west and the central Himalayan range in the east, Kashmir is like a bowl, covered on all sides by snow-capped peaks. Home to pristine river valleys, lush green meadows and crystal clear lakes, Kashmir is every trekker’s delight. The GHT section of Kashmir starts from Narnag and traverses a trail strarting on the banks of Kishen Ganga valley. Pretty lakes and lush green meadows are a constant on this trail, which goes over multiple high passes above 4000m and goes down to the banks of major tributaries of Jhelum river on its eastern flank. We finish the section at Kishtwar, the south-eastern border of Kashmir, having covered the Gurez Valley, Sonmarg Valley, Aru and Pahalgam Valley, the very heart of the Great Himalayan range in Kashmir.

What to expect

A routine day will have over 6 hours of hiking and will involve a great deal of ascending and descending on sparsely tread trails. The terrain will be varied on these treks and you can expect walking on moraines / boulder fields and cross small glaciers. Acclimatisation is a concern, the itineraries are carefully planned and allow everyone to acclimatise to the increasing altitude. Exposure to cold temperatures is quite high on these treks, all participants are expected to have good quality equipment & clothing to enjoy these treks. A mix of wilderness, altitude, terrain and duration makes these treks challenging. The trek is Suited for people with high fitness levels looking for a challenge and capable of enduring multiple weeks in the outdoors.
