For trekkers, Kashmir is the
ultimate paradise.We offer Customized kashmir tour packages and
kashmir budget tours to enjoy trekking in Kashmir.The terrain from
the Shivalik hills of Jammu to the rugged mountains of Ladakh is a
geographer's delight. Now here in the world can one see so much
change in geography in such a small distance: flora and fauna;
Alpine pastures saddled among snow clad peaks with pure oxygenated
air; high-altitude lakes of Kishensar, Vishensar, and Gangabal full
of trout. Your constant companions would be the nomadic shepherds -
the Gujjars - the tough and sturdy mountain folk who can carry you
on their back and still complete the trek in half the time and who
claim to be descendants of Moses. One can go back-packing on one's
own or take on a 'five star' trek in the Mughal fashion with camp
cots, tables and chairs and bearers in waiting For those who want
to do it in real Alpine style, equipment is readily available in
Srinagar, Pahalgam and Sonmarg, the main take off points. Choice
provisions can be purchased in Srinagar.One can hike for a day, or
disappear in the mountains for a week, enjoy the tranquility and
serenity, becoming one with the surroundings in a rare communion
with nature.
For tougher treks, Ladakh offers the
true rugged Himalayan adventure amid high mountains, lofty peaks
and endless glaciers. Treks range from four days to two weeks. In
fact, if one combines some of the trails, one can go on exploring
the mountains for months together. But one has to be cautious
while
trekking
in Ladakh. The climate and terrain are more demanding, being
almost a high-altitude desert with extreme temperature. One has to
be self-sufficient in food as the local population has very little
food to spare. In some places one may not see any life for days
together. The trekking season extends from mid May till mid
Oct.
No permits are required for trekking anywhere in Kashmir or Ladakh
in open areas. However, certain areas close to the border are
restricted zones. Entry into these areas delineated by an imaginary
line drawn one mile north of Zojila-Kargil-Leh road and one mile
west of Leh-Upshi-Manali road is forbidden. Violation may result in
arrest and prosecution. Should one be going for very long treks in
these high mountains, it is advisable to register with tourist
authorities and also inform them on return. Peak Season for
