How Kashmir Great Lakes Has Changed Indian Trekking | Indiahikes
Indiahikes has the legacy of stitching together the Kashmir Great Lakes trek as we know it today - starting from Sonamarg, navigating across 7 great lakes and ending at Naranag - and putting on the map a magnificent trail for trekkers.
Indiahikes also holds the legacy of christening the trek with the now famous name, “Kashmir Great Lakes.”
But there are several larger implications that this exploration had on both, tourism in Kashmir, and the trekking industry in India.
Here, our founder, Arjun Majumdar, along with Sandhya UC and Izzat Yaganagi, gives us a scoop of how the exploration happened, what went on behind the scenes and the significance of the exploration.

    Wow, how lucky are those people who explored it and seen it for the first time. They are just like wow, and when they saw the other lake then are like wow..wow. what a level of excitement was at that time. Btw, I am also going on this trek in mid-august, super excited for this ❤. Trekking is Love ❤.

      Exploration has always been special at Indiahikes. The sheer joy and satisfaction of brining out the new trekking trail on the Indian map is unmatched. The wow moments, the breathtaking views, the sense of achievement... you're going to love every bit of it! Trekking indeed is love, and Kashmir Great Lakes is a special one. Have an amazing time, and all the best.

    I am happy to see that you have explored this region and are trying to bring more tourists and trekkers here. I am just worried and concerned about the influx of the trekkers here in such a fragile ecosystem. I have unexplored regions getting polluted only because of the huge influx of trekkers and tourists. While we promote tourism we should also promote the sustainability of it which unfortunately every trekking organisation lacks. I have been witnessing the same thing in other parts of the KISHTWAR region where people are happy that trekkers and tourists are coming but they have no system to dispose off the wastage . Places like Sinthan pass is polluted with Plastic and other stuff. While you promote trekking,I would like to suggest that please focus on conservation part more than the exploration part, because we are more focused on exploring rather than conservation.

    Great information! One correction I would like to make is not to wear cotton as the gentleman recommends. Cotton which is made of cotton fibers absorbs moisture, so it can keep you feeling sweaty in hot temps and chill you if things turn cold and wet. Instead wear natural or synthetic fibers with moisture-wicking properties like polyester, nylon, spandex, merino wool, etc which move sweat off the skin and dry fast.
