Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car, you will want to start from Srinagar. Take the NH 1D highway towards Sonamarg, which is approximately a 2-3 hour drive (about 80 km). From Sonamarg, you will switch to the local mountain roads leading towards the Kashmir Great Lakes trek starting point.

If you opt for public transportation, take a bus or shared taxi from Srinagar to Sonamarg. Buses leave regularly from the Tourist Bus Stand in Srinagar, and the journey takes around 2-3 hours. Once you reach Sonamarg, you will need to hire a local taxi or arrange for a porter to carry your luggage as you begin the trek towards Vishansar Lake. The trek from Sonamarg to Vishansar Lake is part of the Kashmir Great Lakes trek and typically takes about 2 days of trekking. Make sure to pack accordingly.

Trekking

From the starting point of the Kashmir Great Lakes trek, follow the designated trekking path towards Vishansar Lake. The trek is well-marked, and you will pass through beautiful meadows and alongside streams. The distance to Vishansar Lake from the starting point is approximately 12 km. The trek may take about 5-6 hours, depending on your pace. Ensure you have proper trekking gear and consider hiring a local guide for assistance.
