For foreigners and natives alike, this is a must do trek in India revered for its alluring landscapes and natural beauty.
Located in Kashmir, which is also referred to as "Heaven on Earth", KGL is a jouney through nature which will present you the best of its element in vivid colors as you walk through forests of Maple, Pine and birch, tread across vast grasslands and meadows to experience not 1 but 6 alpine lakes with different shades of blue, depending on the month.
Lush green meadows with contrasting colors of white as seasonal glaciers, emerald lakes and vast grasslands teeming with wildflowers and crystal clear streams.
It truly is a heavenly experience
Over the period of 6 days you get to exprience a new lake every day as you make your way through the 70 odd km jounrey through valleys, meadows and 3 high mountain passes. The effort is definitely worth witnessing such captivating sights and as a cherry on top, you get to see twin lakes on one of the trekking days.
KGL is definitely a life changing experience.
