Why Kashmir Great Lakes is India's Most Beautiful Trek

There's a reason Kashmir Great Lakes tops almost every list of the best treks in India - the sheer diversity of landscape packed into eight days is unmatched.

The trek strings together seven lakes, each a different shade of blue and green depending on the light and time of day.

The meadows between Nichnai and Vishansar are some of the widest and most dramatic in the entire Himalaya.

Best done between July and early September, right after the snow melts and before the autumn closure.
