Tarsar and Marsar at 3,800 Metres and the Kolahoi Glacier at Shepherd CampA 9-Day Kashmir Alpine Trekking Adventure from Sonamarg to Pahalgam

The comprehensive Kashmir trekking circuit combines two of the region's best alpine routes: Tarsar-Marsar (four days from Aru, twin lakes at three thousand eight hundred metres, the signature Kashmir alpine trek) and the Kolahoi Glacier approach (two days from Pahalgam through Lidderwat and Kolahoi base, three thousand five hundred fifty metres — the largest glacier in the Kashmir Valley). Sonamarg one night provides altitude introduction at two thousand eight hundred metres before the trek begins.

Total six trek days, camping throughout with local cook and guide. Rest day in Pahalgam (Day 7) allows body recovery before Kolahoi approach (Day 8).

Mountain rescue insurance MANDATORY. Vikas Rana — three personal winter visits but recommends June 15-September 30 trek window for snow-free passes + alpine flowers visible.
