The Kashmir Great Lakes (KGL) trek is a premier 7 to 8-day high-altitude adventure covering roughly 72 km from Sonamarg to Naranag. Rated as moderate to difficult, the route ascends past stunning alpine landscapes and breathtaking glacial lakes—including Vishansar, Gadsar, and Gangabal—while peaking at over 13,700 feet at Gadsar Pass. Operator-led packages typically cost between ₹15,000 and ₹22,000 per person. Trekkers must secure mandatory environmental and forest/wildlife department clearances ahead of time, with registrations handled directly through certified local agencies or registered operators.
