Made in Srinagar

A guide to the valley, written from the valley

Kashmir Explorer maps the destinations and high-alpine treks of Kashmir, from the houseboats of Dal Lake to the seven-lake Great Lakes circuit: practical, seasonal, and honest about altitude, access and conditions.

What each page tells you

The details that actually shape a trip: altitude, the best months, the distance and drive from Srinagar, and whether your phone will have a network.

How it stays current

Destinations and treks are maintained by our editors and refreshed each season. Where a trek has been assessed, its page says whether the trail is open, closing soon or closed.

What we will not do

Pass an ungraded trail off as a green light. Where a trek has not been assessed, the page says so: it is a gap in what we know, not a promise.

Where we are

Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. If something is wrong, out of date or missing, we want to hear about it: see the contact page.
