    Houseboat
  • Day 2

    Srinagar – Sonmarg – Shitkadi

    After breakfast, begin your journey towards Sonmarg, also known as the "Meadow of Gold." This picturesque destination was once a key stop on the ancient Silk Route connecting Tibet to the Kashmir Valley. After exploring the breathtaking Zero Point and the Zojila Pass, drive back to the Shitkadi Campsite, where you will spend the night in tents amidst the serene surroundings

    Camping
  • Day 3

    Shitkadi to Nichnai

    Your trekking adventure begins today! Wake up at 6:00 AM, freshen up, enjoy breakfast, and pack your bags. The trail from Shitkadi treats you to stunning views of Sonmarg and surrounding glaciers. You will ascend to the scenic Table Top before descending into the Nichnai grazing grounds. From there, the trek continues alongside a river, with the path beautifully lined by Silver Birch trees. By evening, you’ll arrive at the Nichnai Campsite, where you’ll spend your first night in tents, surrounded by nature’s tranquility.

    Camping
  • Day 4

    Nichnai – Vishansar Valley

    Today’s trek takes you to the stunning Vishansar Valley via the Nichnai Pass, located at an altitude of 12,500 feet. Start early as you ascend towards the pass, which connects Nichnai to Vishansar Valley. The trail becomes rocky at the top, offering panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and landscapes. From the pass, descend into the lush Vishansar Valley, surrounded by rolling meadows and alpine beauty. Settle at the campsite near the Vishansar Lake, where you’ll spend the night amidst serene surroundings.

    Camping
  • Day 5

    Vishansar valley - Gadsar

    It will be the third day of the trek after breakfast, pack your gear, take your lunchbox and begin your journey towards Gadsar Pass, the highest point of the trek at 4,400 meters. The climb is steep and challenging, but the stunning views make it worthwhile. Along the way, you’ll pass three beautiful alpine lakes, including Gadsar Lake. After descending from the pass, you’ll reach the Gadsar Valley campsite, where you can rest and take in the breathtaking surroundings. It’s a long, difficult day, but one full of incredible scenery and a sense of achievement.

    Camping
  • Day 6

    Gadsar - Satsar

    After breakfast, you'll head towards the Satsar campsite. Satsar, meaning "seven lakes," is a group of small alpine lakes. You'll pass through beautiful alpine meadows and valleys. The trail leads to the Satsar Lakes, where you'll enjoy scenic views of clear streams and surrounding mountains. The trek is of moderate difficulty, with stunning natural beauty throughout. By evening, you'll reach the Satsar campsite, nestled in a lush, peaceful landscape, making it a rewarding and scenic day of the trek.

    Camping
  • Day 7

    Satsar - Gangbal

    After breakfast you'll trek from Satsar to Gangbal, passing through alpine meadows and rocky terrain. The moderate climb rewards you with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The trail leads to Gangbal Lake, one of the most scenic lakes of the trek, surrounded by snow-capped peaks. By evening, you'll reach the Gangbal campsite, a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

    Camping
  • Day 8

    Gangbal to Narang - Srinagar

    On the final day of your trek, you’ll descend from Gangbal Lake to Naranag , marking the end of the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek. The trail begins with a steep descent, so watch your toes and knees as you navigate the path. The journey is long, and the terrain becomes increasingly rugged towards the end. As you make your way down, you'll pass through lush forests and beautiful valleys, gradually leaving the high-altitude lakes behind. Upon reaching Naranag village, your cab will pick you up and take you to a Srinagar hotel for an overnight stay, where you can relax and reflect on your incredible journey through the Kashmir Great Lakes.

    First of all let me thank you for organizing such a wonderful trek with a perfect itinerary suiting the women of our age group.
    Without wow club's help I could have never imagined of doing this kind of trip ever.
    It was my first trip with wow club and frankly speaking I was quite apprehensive but Kumud as a wow buddy looked after my worries much before the trip commenced. Since January I've been in touch with Kumud and have been asking all sorts of questions, she has always been very prompt with her replies on email as well as on Whatsapp.
    We couldn't have asked for a better buddy.
    It was a great experience traveling with wow club and I look forward to do more trek trips with you guys.

    The sikkim rhododendron trek that i took with wow club was wonderful. It was like a journey inwards, testing my energies, willpower and love towards the mother nature.
    Sikkim Rhododendron Sanctuary gate was the starting point. Little i knew about what it is going to reveal and how i can cope up with the camping and the trek. Ms Shivangi our wow buddy, the youngest of all, was a one superb guide. She gave us the enough space of our own ability and encouraged us when the trek became steep, slippery and dangerous too sometimes.
    she kept herself last in the queue so that she is sure that all are ahead and safe; There is a lot of appreciation towards the service and care of our local guide Mr. NB, we called him in short. He looked into every requirement of each and every member of the group.
    when we wanted hot green tea while trekking, it was magically there and the food he provided to the group was wholesome and healthy.
    Thanks to wow club for giving me an experience to remember in a life time.
