The beauty of Kashmir is augmented by the sheer scale of the landscape. Pristine lakes, lush carpet on the dales and that bouquet of wild flowers nestled between the violently dynamic skies and a idyllic promise of serenity is perhaps what makes this the epitome of Indian destinations. Absolutely stunning!
Incredibly beautiful trekking kashmir lakes Applause for these people especially indian girls who don't visits these mountains due to fear of being lost or may be due to low stamina. I have visited more than 11 mountain lakes including TULIAN Lake during 1972 to 1983 . Now I have left kashmir and settled in quebec Canada from last 43 years. This video reminded me my teenage years Love for trekking .
Nice to hear 😊 there are many many women trekking in India now. There are many trekking groups, so there is no such fear of getting lost since there will be guides. They also insist on getting fit for trek and watch out for trekkers health during the trek. So both men and women are in good hands and have a good chance of completing the trek safely 👍
Watching this video reminds me of the awe-inspiring time I spent in the Kashmir Great Lakes. The pristine lakes, nestled amidst towering peaks, were like a scene from a dream. I captured countless pictures, each one telling a story of tranquility and natural beauty. Joined Orange Jacket Adventure Team for this trek. Mr Vyashakh, my tour guide made that trip even more enjoyable.
Although I heard about the Orange Jacket team, but not joined any trip till now. On the basis of your personal experience, can you let me know whether I should join them or not?
I was also there with my friends in 2018 without any guide and horse, even though we were without cooking gas and we cook our food on fire wood although this trek sans trees ,we were later appreciated by many trekkers including foreign trekkers,
No facility for charging unless you have a solar charger. Network is only post paid SIM in Kashmir and you won't get signal other than a little on the first and last day of the trek.
I will be going to KGL this week. Can you give me update for covid protocol in the state? Do double vaccinated people need to undergo rt pcr again for entering kashmir. I am taking a flight. Please reply🙏
@@SamanvithaRao thank u so much, as i am a solo traveller, i don't do vlogs.. But i like to explore places.. Could u provide me any contact number for the trek?
@@Yashasvikiduniya500 this particular trek my friend organized. But you can find treks on Indiahikes and other Trek the Himalayas etc which offer many treks thorough out the year
Yes Srinagar is safe for a solo female traveller from what I saw. We stayed on a house boat, they provide food and you won't have to wonder around in town alone. So do look into that. It's not too expensive.
My sister and I are planning on going on this trek next year. My sis says this is a very hard trek as it requires 3 days of steep ascent. Your video looks like there were only soft ascends. Could you please tell me how hard you found it? I am anxious to know how much to improve my fitness.
There are 3 or even 4 days of steep ascent. I was also worried about it. But if you are reasonably fit, slow and steady it is doable. The steep descent on the last day is also not easy.
There are many trek companies offering this trek. We went with Miles to Trek. Indiahikes, YHAI, Trek The Himalayas also offers it. Cost ranges from 12-16K depending on group size and facilities. Trek is 7 days. It's a moderate-difficult trek with average 11-16kms trekking per day with pass crossing on most days. So good fitness is needed.
Yes the Kashmir great lakes trek walking is the only option. In case of emergency like altitude sickness you can get pony to come down. There are other places in Kashmir like Gulmarg etc that can be enjoyed without trekking.
@@cintasehati95 I have not been to Gulmarg. It is a ski destination with resorts, so I meant you can go stay there and enjoy the beauty of Kashmir. August will be very green, so different from winter. You might enjoy it 👍
Indiahikes recommendation is as follows: Run at least 5 km in 32 minutes before your trek. Consistency of your workout also matters, so aim to jog 25 km a week or 100 km in a month. It's a minimum mandatory requirement if you wish to trek with us. OR Alternatively, cycle for at least 25 km in 60 minutes. Aim to cycle 125 km a week or 500 km in a month. However, running is better suited for your trek preparation.
@@dr.jaganmohanreddy3875 it was customized for our group for our budget. There are a lot of companies that offer the trek at different price points and customized to different levels of facilities. Only the govt has restricted the number of trekkers per day on the trail. So you need to find one that suits you and book ahead of time as this trek fills up fast.
@@karnatisaikumarreddy5154 you can go Solo with any trek group like Indiahikes/YHAI etc. If you want to go solo by yourself then I am not sure as you will need food, tent, sleeping bag etc for whole trek. There are not many dhaba facilities on the trail. Also you will need permit etc. So better to go with a trek organization.
There are many organizations that offer this trek.. we went with Miles to trek. They will include pickup and drop in Srinagar. So cost will be reaching Srinagar + cost of trek.
Hi Samanvitha.. have you travelled with India Hikes? Or this tour is organised by some other tour operating company? Can you give the contact no.of that company.. And your video is absolutely beautiful:) enjoyed every portion of this tour :)
Thank you 😊 This one a friend organized it through a company called Miles to Trek. You can google their number. But all groups have to camp in the same locations along the trail. So I suspect the experience with any group will be similar.
Thanks.. this is just a video I made to capture the memories for the group that trekked together. It is not really an Informative video about the trek for others. Thanks for your comment 😊

Thank you so much
This was amazing! Which trek group did you choose? I also am planning to visit, please if you could guide me on this trek. Thanks.
I went with Miles to Trek. It was organized for just our group of friends. But I am sure any group you choose, it will be a good experience 👍
I was also there with my friends in 2018 without any guide and horse, even though we were without cooking gas and we cook our food on fire wood although this trek sans trees ,we were later appreciated by many trekkers including foreign trekkers,
There are more restrictions now and need permits etc
@@SamanvithaRao I don't know about that there's also another great lakes trek in north kashmir side without any restrictions and I welcome you there
@@mohammadshafi7500 that sounds great 😍 thanks will reach out
@@SamanvithaRao I will surely help you there
I have booked the trekk for this July 2022...
All the best! Hope you have a great experience 😊
Kashmir great lakes trek
nice
I am planning for this August. Will it be safe to trek around 15 August? Trek I wish to join ends on the 14th August in Srinagar.
You have to take your own call about that. In 2019 we had planned around Aug 15 and had to cancel due to article 370.
Can you please share the travel agency name that you have used in this trekking.
Miles to Trek
BEAUTIFULLY CAPTURED... CAN THIS BE DONE BY BEGINNERS...WHAT IS THE DIFFICULTY LEVEL? PLS GUIDE THANKS
It can be done by beginners with good training. It's not an easy trek.
Amazing video....
No facility for charging unless you have a solar charger. Network is only post paid SIM in Kashmir and you won't get signal other than a little on the first and last day of the trek.
@@SamanvithaRao Thank u :)
I will be going to KGL this week. Can you give me update for covid protocol in the state? Do double vaccinated people need to undergo rt pcr again for entering kashmir. I am taking a flight. Please reply🙏
Yes if you don't have RTPCR report, they will collect a sample at the airport along with phone number and let you go. No worries it's fairly smooth
August mai bhi rain hoti hai? to September sahi rahega?
Mountains mai rains kabhi bhi ho sakti hai 😊
Are kuch explain bhi kar deti trek ke baare me beech beech me toh no. 1 video hoti kgl ki ye

Beautifil vodeo .. but shld hv been more informative abt trek iteneary .. difficulti level.. organiser .. etc. . Looking for the details
Thanks! Made this just to share memories with trek mates. Will try to make one with the info as well
Which trekking organiser u went through??
I went with Miles to Trek
@@SamanvithaRao thank u so much, as i am a solo traveller, i don't do vlogs.. But i like to explore places.. Could u provide me any contact number for the trek?
They have a website. Although there are many companies that offer the trek. Guess you can go with any that suits your dates and budget.
u did shooting with your mobile...is there any selfi stick is used for this ?
No I did not use anything. Shot hand held with OnePlus 7 Pro.
Is this shoot in August first or second week?
First week of August
How do u charge phones on such trek ?
I had taken 2 powerbanks 20,000mah ones.
Bhai outsiders jaise dusre state wale logo ko permit lagega ya kashmir jaane ke liye?
Kashmir jaane ke liye no permit. Lekin trek ke liye permit chahiye
@@SamanvithaRao thank you🙏
Please tell me the date of starting the trek
We started in August 1st, 2021
Hello Samanvitha Rao, Which trekking group do you use there?
Our trek was organized by Miles to Trek

Hi Samanvita , I’m planning the same trek and will have to stay there for a night alone as a solo female at Srinagar. Can you tell me if it’s safe?
Yes Srinagar is safe for a solo female traveller from what I saw. We stayed on a house boat, they provide food and you won't have to wonder around in town alone. So do look into that. It's not too expensive.
Hi, I am also travelling solo to Kgl this July mid. In case if you want to join kindly let me know. I was looking for a team.
Which camera do you used?
This was all with phone - Oneplus 7 pro

Does get crowded on trails due to so many companies offer it?
@@SamanvithaRao They provide shoes and sticks....wt about that.... explain please...
@@tejastupe actually from this year govt has put restriction on number of people on trail per day. So should be ok. But need to plan and book early.
@@karnatisaikumarreddy5154 depends on trek company. Indiahikes provides shoes and stick for rent.
Which trek company ???
We went with Miles to Trek
Is it compulsory to walk and hiking?
Yes the Kashmir great lakes trek walking is the only option. In case of emergency like altitude sickness you can get pony to come down.
There are other places in Kashmir like Gulmarg etc that can be enjoyed without trekking.
@@SamanvithaRao what kind of mode in Gulmarg. I have been to Kashmir on winter should I go on August 2022?

How to prepare for this trek on the fitness!
Indiahikes recommendation is as follows:
Run at least 5 km in 32 minutes before your trek. Consistency of your workout also matters, so aim to jog 25 km a week or 100 km in a month. It's a minimum mandatory requirement if you wish to trek with us.
OR
Alternatively, cycle for at least 25 km in 60 minutes. Aim to cycle 125 km a week or 500 km in a month. However, running is better suited for your trek preparation.
If there is any nearby hilly region, brisk walks there will also help. I mostly trained by walking 10kms a few times a week.
Hi did you book for a trekking company?
Yes with Miles to Trek
Shooting with GoPro or dslr
Shot on mobile. OnePlus 7 pro 😀
