Thank you so much 😍

Nice to hear 😊 there are many many women trekking in India now. There are many trekking groups, so there is no such fear of getting lost since there will be guides. They also insist on getting fit for trek and watch out for trekkers health during the trek. So both men and women are in good hands and have a good chance of completing the trek safely 👍

We are planning to go there on 18th of this month....please send your contact number to share some details about the trek

You will have a great time 😊 all the best

Thanks 😍

Although I heard about the Orange Jacket team, but not joined any trip till now. On the basis of your personal experience, can you let me know whether I should join them or not?

Heard about Orange Jacket Team from my colleague. He did KGL trip with them last year. Now, Im also planning to join their KGL Group Trip.

Great to hear your experience was good 😊

Thanks 😊

Thank you 😊

Is it? I haven't done Hampta pass 😊

Enjoy the trek 😊

Can you tell us any local guides there

Thank you so much 😍

How was your experience with YHAI?? I have planned this year .

Thank you 😊

😊

I went with Miles to Trek. It was organized for just our group of friends. But I am sure any group you choose, it will be a good experience 👍

🙌🙌🙌

You have to take your own call about that. In 2019 we had planned around Aug 15 and had to cancel due to article 370.

What a great place to call hometown 😊

No facility for charging unless you have a solar charger. Network is only post paid SIM in Kashmir and you won't get signal other than a little on the first and last day of the trek.

@@SamanvithaRao Thank u :)

Kashmir jaane ke liye no permit. Lekin trek ke liye permit chahiye

@@SamanvithaRao thank you🙏

Mountains mai rains kabhi bhi ho sakti hai 😊

No I did not use anything. Shot hand held with OnePlus 7 Pro.

There are more restrictions now and need permits etc

@@SamanvithaRao I don't know about that there's also another great lakes trek in north kashmir side without any restrictions and I welcome you there

@@mohammadshafi7500 that sounds great 😍 thanks will reach out

@@SamanvithaRao I will surely help you there

First week of August

Miles to Trek

It can be done by beginners with good training. It's not an easy trek.

Search isa khan on youtube and watch his videos of kgl. You will get every bit of info.

@@shahidahmad6090 Thank you so much👍 Finding his vlogs very helpful!

There are 3 or even 4 days of steep ascent. I was also worried about it. But if you are reasonably fit, slow and steady it is doable. The steep descent on the last day is also not easy.

Yes Srinagar is safe for a solo female traveller from what I saw. We stayed on a house boat, they provide food and you won't have to wonder around in town alone. So do look into that. It's not too expensive.

Hi, I am also travelling solo to Kgl this July mid. In case if you want to join kindly let me know. I was looking for a team.

Yes if you don't have RTPCR report, they will collect a sample at the airport along with phone number and let you go. No worries it's fairly smooth

Yes the Kashmir great lakes trek walking is the only option. In case of emergency like altitude sickness you can get pony to come down. There are other places in Kashmir like Gulmarg etc that can be enjoyed without trekking.

@@SamanvithaRao what kind of mode in Gulmarg. I have been to Kashmir on winter should I go on August 2022?

@@cintasehati95 I have not been to Gulmarg. It is a ski destination with resorts, so I meant you can go stay there and enjoy the beauty of Kashmir. August will be very green, so different from winter. You might enjoy it 👍

This was all with phone - Oneplus 7 pro

Our trek was organized by Miles to Trek

@@SamanvithaRao Thank you Samantha, i will check it out 👍

There are many trek companies offering this trek. We went with Miles to Trek. Indiahikes, YHAI, Trek The Himalayas also offers it. Cost ranges from 12-16K depending on group size and facilities. Trek is 7 days. It's a moderate-difficult trek with average 11-16kms trekking per day with pass crossing on most days. So good fitness is needed.

Does get crowded on trails due to so many companies offer it?

@@SamanvithaRao They provide shoes and sticks....wt about that.... explain please...

@@tejastupe actually from this year govt has put restriction on number of people on trail per day. So should be ok. But need to plan and book early.

@@karnatisaikumarreddy5154 depends on trek company. Indiahikes provides shoes and stick for rent.

Thanks! Made this just to share memories with trek mates. Will try to make one with the info as well

All the best! Hope you have a great experience 😊

😂😂 yeh project aap ke liye 👍

We started in August 1st, 2021

I had taken 2 powerbanks 20,000mah ones.

I went with Miles to Trek

@@SamanvithaRao thank u so much, as i am a solo traveller, i don't do vlogs.. But i like to explore places.. Could u provide me any contact number for the trek?

They have a website. Although there are many companies that offer the trek. Guess you can go with any that suits your dates and budget.

We went with Miles to Trek

I went with Miles to Trek

@@SamanvithaRao how was everything with that company?

@@dr.jaganmohanreddy3875 it was customized for our group for our budget. There are a lot of companies that offer the trek at different price points and customized to different levels of facilities. Only the govt has restricted the number of trekkers per day on the trail. So you need to find one that suits you and book ahead of time as this trek fills up fast.

@@SamanvithaRao sure thanks a lot .. for being very informative

Yes with Miles to Trek

Thanks 😍 what details do you need?

@@SamanvithaRao - how you got to know about which places to trek ?? Did you travel websites organised ur trip ??

@@Yashasvikiduniya500 this particular trek my friend organized. But you can find treks on Indiahikes and other Trek the Himalayas etc which offer many treks thorough out the year

@@SamanvithaRao - okay thanks

There are many organizations that offer this trek.. we went with Miles to trek. They will include pickup and drop in Srinagar. So cost will be reaching Srinagar + cost of trek.

@@SamanvithaRao Thank you mam 🙏🙏

It was all shot on my OnePlus 7 Pro mobile phone camera

Shot on mobile. OnePlus 7 pro 😀

@@SamanvithaRao wow so wide

Thank you 😊 This one a friend organized it through a company called Miles to Trek. You can google their number. But all groups have to camp in the same locations along the trail. So I suspect the experience with any group will be similar.

@@SamanvithaRao Thank you so much for the reply.. and thanks a lot for the brilliant video :)

@@SamanvithaRao which is the best Time to see

Hi Arindam, i am travelling to Kgl this July mid as solo. In case if you want to join, kindly let me know.

@@sinchansinha2751 actually I have already registered with India Hikes... So.. extremely sorry..

Indiahikes recommendation is as follows: Run at least 5 km in 32 minutes before your trek. Consistency of your workout also matters, so aim to jog 25 km a week or 100 km in a month. It's a minimum mandatory requirement if you wish to trek with us. OR Alternatively, cycle for at least 25 km in 60 minutes. Aim to cycle 125 km a week or 500 km in a month. However, running is better suited for your trek preparation.

If there is any nearby hilly region, brisk walks there will also help. I mostly trained by walking 10kms a few times a week.

It's Miles to Trek. You can google them. Though many organization's offer this.

@@SamanvithaRao can we go solo mam???

@@karnatisaikumarreddy5154 you can go Solo with any trek group like Indiahikes/YHAI etc. If you want to go solo by yourself then I am not sure as you will need food, tent, sleeping bag etc for whole trek. There are not many dhaba facilities on the trail. Also you will need permit etc. So better to go with a trek organization.

@@SamanvithaRao tq for your suggestions mam.....your insta id mam

@@SamanvithaRao kgl trek worth watch ah mam or choose any other????

Thanks.. this is just a video I made to capture the memories for the group that trekked together. It is not really an Informative video about the trek for others. Thanks for your comment 😊

@@SamanvithaRao taken in good spirit. I like ! Looking forward to more videos

It was just a video I put together for trek mates using songs they suggested 😊

Thanks 😍
