Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car from Srinagar, head east on Lal Mandi Road near S. P. S. Museum. Continue on this road until you reach the outskirts of the city. Follow the signs for the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek starting point, which is located near the base of the mountains at a place called 'Bagh-i-Maula.' The drive should take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on traffic conditions. Make sure to have a map or GPS on hand, as the routes can be winding.

Public Transportation

To reach the Kashmir Lakes Trek using public transportation, take a local bus or shared taxi from the main bus station in Srinagar. Look for buses heading towards Sonamarg, which is a popular destination on the way to the trek. Inform the driver to drop you off at Bagh-i-Maula. The bus rides typically take about 2 to 3 hours and cost around ₹100-₹200. From Bagh-i-Maula, you may need to walk a short distance to reach the trek starting point.

Hire a Local Guide or Porter

For an easier and more informative experience, consider hiring a local guide or porter who knows the area well. You can find local guides in Srinagar or at the starting point of the trek. The cost usually ranges from ₹500 to ₹1500 per day, depending on the services provided. This option not only helps you navigate the area but also enhances your trekking experience with local knowledge.
