Kashmir Great Lakes Trek (KGL) | Why is it called India’s prettiest trek?

KGL is gaining a lot of popularity and there is a big reason behind it. The beauty of the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is simply out of the world. It is home to crystal clear alpine lakes, bedsheets of bright beautiful flowers and endless expanses of lush green grass. Many times during this trek, I caught myself asking if what I am seeing is even real. The greens are too green and the blues are too blue, so much so that you feel teleported to a dream world. So even if it is getting commercialised, you must not miss the chance to experience such dreamlike beauty.

Trekking in Kashmir often raises a lot of eyebrows and people are often concerned about safety. I have addressed that issue in this video as well. If you do choose to go for it, then you should know that although this trek comes under moderate category, the distance covered each day is a lot. We walked for 8-10 hours each day. But of course it was totally worth it. Sharing my experience through this video, hope you enjoy it!
