The Kolahoi Glacier trek can be described as the trek of a lifetime. This valley glacier is revered by the locals as the “Goddess of Light” for being the perennial source of water that powers major rivers such as Jhelum and Lidder. Sadly, this five-kilometer long hanging glacier has depleted over the years due to the effects of climate change.
Trekking in Kashmir has a certain charm. In other words, it has a different air about it. The five-day trek to Kolahoi Glacier categorically captures the essence of that feeling. As it is often said, the journey is as important as the destination. The trekking trail to Kolahoi Glacier stands testament to this sentiment. The trail starts at Aru, a gateway to more than 25 stunning alpine lakes and innumerable high-altitude ponds. The route winds through the greenest meadows, sprawling banks of Lidder river and wide-open Himalayan valleys. Throughout the trek, you’ll be greeted by acres and acres of beautiful coniferous forests that extend as far as the horizon goes. The pinnacle of the trek is, of course, the magnificent Kolahoi Glacier.
