Kolahoi Base Camp Trek

Overview

Kolahoi Base Camp Trek

Kolahoi Base Camp Trek is one of the easiest Kashmir treks which travels through the emerald green valleys, with thick forested slopes and crisscrossed by the gushing streams, up into a terrain of alpine meadows from where one can imbibe the breath-taking panoramic views of the snowcapped Himalayan range. Moving along at a comfortable pace makes the Kolahoi Base Camp Trek a perfect soft adventure for beginners and families with children. The stunning view of the peaks soaring towards the sky at the Pirpanjal and Karakoram horizon are simply worth capturing.

One of the most demanding treks in the Kashmir valley region, the Kolahoi Base Camp Trek flings from the beautiful flower strewn meadow of Aru and cuts and runs across the thick pine wood of Lidderwat at an elevation of 3,049 meters. One of the major attractions on this trekking trail in Kashmir is the Tarsar Lake, which is perched at an altitude of 3,960 meters. From here the tracks lead to Kolahoi Base Camp that is tucked at a height of 4,000 meters. The trek also provides an opportunity to observe the Nomadic Gujars and Bakarwals who travel vast distances to graze cattle on the rich summer grass.
