This is the best trek we've done in India so far, surpassing Hampta, Goechala, Sandakhphu and Kuari Pass...... The organizers, Mehraz and his team were superb. We were received at the airport and then taken to Sonamarg , from where the trek began. Our guide and horsemen met us there, and the next few days were heaven on earth. fantastic views, beautiful landscapes and unbelievable lake vistas. The food though simple, was healthy and cooked well. Since we were just two, our guide Akhtar doubled up as a cook. The two others , Zakir and Sadaqat were very polite, helpful and always eager to help. Akhtar was patient, kept pace and had good conversations with us. They set up tents before we arrived each day at the camp site ensuring a smooth transition period. We felt taken care of. Towards the end , Sadaqat even went fishing and caught us some brown trout from the lake, which Akhtar cooked the final night. The equipment was satisfactory with some niggles with the inner zip of our tent which wouldn't close smoothly. However, the staff always came to help, and fixed that each time we called. The final day in Srinagar, they arranged a houseboat stay which was also a great experience. Overall, i would definitely hike again with KashmirTreks and Mehraz's team.

We travelled to Kashmir in April to experience the Spring flowers and trek in the mountains. Shakeel Ahmed, our driver and guide was responsive and reliable. Once we had established the guidelines around Ramadan (which would have been useful to know and understand ahead of time), we worked very well together. When our homestay accommodation did not match our expectations, Mr Mir reacted promptly and alternative arrangements were made. The houseboat accommodation reserved for us on Nigeen Lake was exceptional and a definite highlight of our trip. The day treks in the mountains were of an easy to moderate standard and we thoroughly enjoyed them.

Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is one of the best hiking trails in Srinagar Himalayas. I did it in October 23. It was a bit late in the season but thankfully we had a very good weather. It truly is something an accomplishment a multi-day trek.

I was looking for an offbeat tour out from Srinagar and booked Kashmir Snow Trek with Kashmir Treks. I didn't know a lot about what to expect so every day was a surprise for us. We were two active mid- 50 year olds and this was not too difficult. Every day was more spectacular than the next aided by beautiful sunshine every day except for one period of about 30 minutes. The trip culminated wonderfully. We had a breathtaking hiking adventure. Meals were fresh and filling. Everyone raved about them and no one had dietary restrictions. We were provided with very warm camping gear, tents were pitched inside those Gypsy huts. Every evening we had bonfire. The staff performed very well in a responsible way. We enjoyed our one week hike. Kashmir Treks was infact a very good pick for the hiking tour. Many of our friends from home followed us on FB and added this trip to their bucket lists- it truly was spectacular. We strongly recommend this operator. Best Jamie & Mike

After doing the trek, I would like to thank you Ali for guiding us on the beautiful hiking trail in Kashmir and taking a good care of my family. I loved and enjoyed the arrangements made by the company.

Kashmir Treks is very professional in arranging treks around the Kashmir Valley. We were very lucky to find such a beautiful company who provided us a very fantastic mountain experience. We enjoyed our trek. The staff, equipment and meals provided were very good. We highly recommend Kashmir Treks to everyone who loves to hike in the wilderness of Kashmir.

We arrived Srinagar in September, being our first visit we decided to do a walking tour. Absolutely no regrets. A wonderful 7 days we spent with great company. We were met warmly by Shakeel who drove us to the basecamp. Mudasir our guide gave us an initial introduction and information about the trek, he was so informative and fun. A real character who had such a vast knowledge of the Himalaya and Kashmir heritage. We began our hiking trip the very next day. Its a moderate trek not easy one. We enjoyed a lot at a slow pace we mixed ourselves with the surroundings that helped us to acclimatize. We made so many stops and we were in no rush. The guide Mudasar picked great locations for overnight camps, it was so quite and peaceful. Well done Mudasar. Thank you for introducing us to Kashmir and It all means so much more to us now and we loved it.

If you are looking for a small group tour operator, Mir's your man. His planning and itinerary was excellent taking us to many out of the way and interesting places. His commentary and knowledge really added to the enjoyment of the trip.

Great Lakes Trek is the most beautiful experience of my stay in India. I did this beautiful trek in September. And it really did not disappoint. I was very lucky the sky was clear and the sunset everyday was so beautiful. My Guide Adil was super lovely, very talkative and caring. I was picked up at 7.30am from the Srinagar airport and had a lovely smooth drive to the Sonmarg. I was met my guide there who took me on the trek, the logistics everything was ready. I am a solo female traveler and felt very safe, Adil was lovely and very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, I got to experience some of the best mountain scenery once I was up in the meadows near the twin lakes. It was Magical. I’d highly recommend booking a tour with these guys.

Great Lakes is a breathtaking mountain vista with plenty of wild meadows, waterfalls and amazing mountain views. We did a private hike arranged by Kashmir Treks in September 23. The staf was great, especially the guide Ali, we’ve enjoyed the tour very much. Thanks Kashmir Treks for such a reliable responsible tour. Thank you. Kate

One of the most amazing hospitality & routes been to for a winter hike. The package taken was a full end to end airport pickup to hotel drop off to transportation to the trek site/ mountain to lodging to food and guide and return hotel & airport drop off - nothing to worry as everything will be taken care of! Here is an extra review of the journey: 1- Driver (Shakeel) - BEST hospitality, he not only picked from the airport but also helped to bring me to a little neighbourhood shop to set up my phone SIM card (in Kashmir no other lines are allowed other than Airtel and some Indian carriers i think?), driver also dropped me at the city hotel, picked from the hotel and on the last day acceded to our request of bringing us a tour around the city & shopping (such goodwill to also bring us to authentic local spots to get the goodies). and ALSO, even followed up to make sure I am back in Singapore safely ! 2- Trek program & guide (Ali & Yaseer) - ONE phrase is, trust the guide. they are just experts on the weather, journey, etc., on the first day we didnt hike much but rather stayed at a very beautiful lake (I think it was facing small Marchoi or so), initially felt that the time was not fully utilised but then only realised they have checked (in fact probably trekked to the destination that was planned to go to check the weather) the weather at destination. overall it was a very FULFILLING, SERENE, and BEAUTIFUL journey! 3- Food & amenities (super cook who always has a cap on) - LIVE LOCAL, if you like to experience the true Kashmir culture and cuisine at its simplest/rawest form then you will definitely enjoy the food and lodging. All in all an awesome trip; great program, very very nice, trustworthy people (guides, cook & driver), thank you to the team! Will definitely return again :)

We went to the Bodpathri Tosamaidan lakes trek between 26th August and 31st August. The trek experience was so mesmerising that I would rate it higher than Kashmir great lakes and Tarsar Marsar lakes. The meadows of tosamaidan are larger than that of KGL. Besides that you get to see the great Himalayan mountain range with peaks like Mount Kolahoi, Nun -Kun and Mount Harmukh throughout the trek. Now coming to the teekking team who helped us to obtain such a beautiful experience. The team was comprised of Mr. Maqbool who was our guide, Mr. Tahir, who was our cook while Mr. Adil and Mr. Imtiyaz were our horsemen. Maqbool took extra efforts to show us each and every lake. He was never in a hurry and allowed us to reach the camps at our our own pace. Adil and Imtiyaz were such hardworking guys that because of their special efforts we could reach the Bodsar and Pamsar lakes on the same day we reached the Duriem camp because they took us to the lakes on their horses. Tahir used to crack jokes and have fun throughout the trek. Adil won our hearts as he arranged bonfire on each days of the trek. Finally , we are greatful to Mr. Mehraz Mir, the trek organizer, who at the end of the day provided us with a comfortable stay with food at Hotel Ash Vale near the Dal Lake. Besides that he also arranged pick and drop till Airport.

When it comes to trekking there's no match to Kashmir. It provides everything, beautiful landscapes, endless and colorful meadows, icy-water streams and plenty of high altitude lakes. Great Lakes is a perfect alpine trail.
