Introducing The Nafran Valley Trek In Kashmir | Indiahikes

Resources & Links

For a long time, we’ve been looking for another trek in Kashmir that matches up to our blockbuster treks, Kashmir Great Lakes and Tarsar Marsar.

For us finding anything that compares to the great two is like looking for an elephant with wings. “It’s near impossible for any trek to compare with the Kashmir Great Lakes or the Tarsar Marsar. It is hard to match up to the grand meadows, the turquoise blue lakes, and picture-perfect landscapes of these two treks,” says Sandhya UC, who led the exploration and documentation of the Kashmir Great Lakes (2011) and Tarsar Marsar (2015) treks.

“We have looked for trails in Gurez, Doodhpathri, around Naranag, near Margan Pass, even towards the Thajiwas glacier. While each of these is beautiful, there’s always been some issue. Either the trek is too short, too monotonous, runs through disturbed areas, or has incomplete trails,” says Sandhya.

Now, for the first time in seven years, we have found a trek that matches up to the KGL and Tarsar Marsar in grandeur, in variety, and in the kickback.

We are talking about the Nafran Valley trek.

Great ! For how many months this trek is opened? Asking because as far as Ik the KGL trek is open from June to September ig ?
I am looking for a trek like this for May.

[emishtichheda]

can we go this may to nafran valley trek?

[faizansofi]

The permit to these pristine meadows should be limited. I have seen how Kashmir Great Lakes trail has been littered and abused . Nature can't sustain such uncountable groups of people putting tents and numerous ponies .
This is no less than a catastrophe.
There is a lot it learn from West in that they have limited permits to their Natironal Parks.Only then have they been able to maintain the originality of them.
