Kolahoi Glacier ( 4 days) :-

This short trek takes only four days from Pahalgam back to Pahalgam, although it can be extended on your request by continuing up into the Sindh Valley. The trek takes us through the lushness of the valley floor, with shady forested slopes fed by the gushing river, and up into a landscape of alpine meadows and breath-taking panoramic views of the Himalayas all around.

We move at an easy pace and do not exceed altitudes of 2500m, making this trek perfect for inexperienced walkers and families with children. An enjoyable sojourn into the mountains, this trek fits easily into a longer stay in Srinagar, but can also be treated as an independent break for those wishing to escape Delhi for a few days.

ITINERARY :->

DAY 01 PAHALGAM - ARU :- Situated 2130m up at the confluence of the streams flowing from Sheshnag Lake and the Lidder River, Pahalgam was once a humble shepherd's village with breathtaking views. Now it is Kashmir's premier resort, deliciously cool even in the height of summer, and a wonderful day is spent exploring the natural pine forests and enjoying nature's splendour. We trek steadily along the river to the pretty log-hut village of Aru, 11 kms from Pahalgam. At Aru, the camp is already set up for you beside the Lidder River. We eat a delicious dinner round the fire and rest.

DAY 02 ARU - LIDDER WATT :- We trek 11 kms through the lush Lidder Valley to Lidder Watt, where our reward is overnight at the beautiful Lidder Watt campsite, situated by a stream that runs straight from the glacier into the Tarsar Lake.

DAY 03 LIDDER WATT - KOLAHOI :- A short trek takes us to the base of the Kolahoi Glacier at the head of the Lidder Valley. The glacier, climbing from 3400m up to 4000m, descends from twin peaks at 5433m that tower majestically overhead, and is a truly magnificent sight. We head back to Lidder Watt for campfire meal and rest.

DAY 04 LIDDER WATT - PAHALGAM - SRINAGAR :- We trek our return into the green valley and reach Pahalgam by the early afternoon. After lunch we return to Srinagar by car, where on arrival we transfer to the airport or station for your onward journey, or to your houseboat on the lake.
