INTRODUCTION

Kolahoi Glacier Trek is a crossover trek from Sind Valley into the Lidder Valley passing Basmai Pass (4200m). The trek passes through high altitude alpine lakes situated at the foothills of Mount Kolahoi (5425m), the highest mountain peak of the Vale of Kashmir. It crosses streams and plenty of colorful meadows.

Though trekking in Kashmir is not the newest still this expedition is no walk in the park. Arduous days, steep and rocky passes, and altitudes approaching 4300m all collide to create a challenging trek in one of the most beautiful and serene Himalayas of Kashmir.

WHILE PLANNING YOUR TREK, AS A BEGINNER KEEP THE FOLLOWING POINTS IN CONSIDERATION:-
  • you feel fit enough to trek for hours.
  • you walk two or three kilometers daily.
  • you don’t have any breathing problems.
  • you are not scared of heights.
