10 treks of Jammu and Kashmir

The surreal beauty of Jammu Kashmir is well known, and the state is famous for its heavenly landscape of green trees, fruit orchards, and sparkling lakes and rivers. While there are plenty of ways to explore this state, the top treks in Kashmir will take you to some of the lesser-known destinations so you can get a complete experience of the state.

When it comes to top treks in Kashmir, most of them are also top treks in Ladakh. Ladakh is famed for its high passes, brackish water lakes, deep blue skies and a landscape that is larger than life. This magnificently stark high-altitude desert kingdom is a hub of exhilarating activities like white water river rafting, mountaineering, and camping in Leh.

In the winters, the trails of the top treks around Leh are covered with snow, making the experience of trekking even more remarkable. Out of the many challenges of trekking in this region, one of the tasks is acclimatizing to the weather at such an altitude. Some of the top treks in Kashmir include the Chadar Trek, Stok Kangri and Markha Valley.
