Package Overview

Kashmir with its unparalleled beauty, postcard-perfect scenes and almost European vistas frankly need no introduction. The Nafraan Valley trek traverses some of the hidden jewels in the Kashmiri mountainscape – the pristine alpine high altitude lakes of Harnag and Harbagwan. If you are looking for green meadows filled with colourful wildflowers, pristine colour changing water lakes, meandering streams and amazing Himalayan views from high passes, then the Nafraan Valley is the most highly recommended trek. Starting from the popular hill station Aru, the trail follows ancient routes taken by the Gujjars, the nomadic shepherds of Kashmir. Every day on the trail, trekkers are treated to breathtaking views of rugged snowcapped mountains, colourful grasslands, and trout-filled crystal clear lakes. There are also high passes to be crossed, the highest being at 3700 mts and rocky terrains to be navigated frequently. It is a physically and mentally challenging trek and would require the trekkers to be physically fit and to have a penchant for the Himalayan remoteness to enjoy this trek.
