As famous saying goes - If there is Heaven on Earth, Its In Kashmir...
Wonder if the person who said trekked this route or perhaps every sight of Kashmir was heavenly beautiful during the period of his reign !!
If we are asked about The Kashmir Alpine Lakes And Meadows Trek, ( also called by the name of Kashmir Great Lakes by many ), our first reaction is to go silent for few seconds or rather minutes, and then gather some words to describe it. An apt trek for all who loves to wander the Himalayas, where the mountains, the green meadows, the rivers, the lakes, people, clouds, snow.. each and every element of mother nature is just a dream experience to add to one's memories of life.

By the end of the Kashmir Alpine Lakes And Meadows Trek (Kashmir Great Lakes ), if you are asked which campsite you liked the most, I am sure it will not be a simple question to answer. Each of the campsites on this trek are equally beautiful. The lush green meadows after the snow cover melts, keep your spirits elevated and never ever leaves that state of happiness. Whenever you talk about it, you feel that happiness come right back to you, the same as what happens to me as I write about this trek.
Here if you are bored of trekking, you can choose to roll down on few sections, or to keep simple, you may take of that hard shoe and let your feet take the pleasure offered by the softness of the lush green, velvet meadow top of the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek.

If meadows are a part of this trek, so are the lakes !! The region is bestowed with more than 22 lakes which are as pure as it can be. This trek has longer walks each day which involves crossing passes adding the thrill to the trek each day. Once you are done crossing over the pass, its turns itself into a lovely romantic walk on the meadows, passing by lakes, streams and flower beds, before you reach your campsites. Where there are meadows, there are sheep and shepherds too who add the extra charm to the trek.
Oh !! I should also not forget to mention about the horses who ferry our load and their caretakers, the trout fishes which jumps frequently above the serene water surfaces of the lakes, the calls of Marmot teasing your energy, the gush of rivers adding to the music played by the band of nature.. the never-ending list goes on.
