Untold Kashmir: Trekking to the Great Lakes (Part I)

Great Lakes Trek in Kashmir

On this trek, our first campsite was at Shitkadi. We could see Sonamarg from up there. The meadow of gold is an alpine valley, perched on the bank of Sindh River, about 75 km from Srinagar. Sindh is the largest tributary of the Jhelum River, born in the upper western Tibet valley at Mansarovar Lake.

Tripper in Kashmir

Trippers have chosen travelling as a lifestyle. Trippers are carefree, they live in the present, trippers don’t get to save much and their folks often consider them nomads.
