A few days ago, the Home Department of Jammu and Kashmir issued an advisory stating that all tourists and Amarnath Yatris should cut short their trip to the valley and return safely to their homes.
Abiding by this advisory we called of batches departing 3 August onwards. We were awaiting further communication to take a final call on all our batches for the Tarsar Marsar trek and Kashmir Great Lakes trek.
Given the recent progress of the events, we believe that it is in the best interest of our trekkers that we call of all the batches for the month of August.
Though it is quite disappointing that we will not be able to enjoy the beautiful trails of Kashmir Great lakes and Tarsar Marsar, we must not get disheartened by the situation.
Instead, we can use this chance to witness some other mesmerizing Himalayan trails. All our trekkers who had made bookings in the Kashmir trek batches, here are a few other options for you.

The Kalihani Pass trek is one of the most recent recces done by the Bikat Exploration Team. This beautiful trail is a great alternative to the famous Valley of Flowers trail. It has the varied flora and fauna minus the crowds of the Valley fo flowers trail.
Apart from the mesmerizing beauty of this trail, the chance to walk on the glacier during the final summit push is the ultimate adrenaline rush.

The Hampta Pass trek is undoubtedly one of the most famous Himalayan trails. You walk from the lush green valley of Kullu to the stark desert valley of Spiti. The transition in the views, as well as the cultural spin one witnesses, are both quite unique. Another major highlight of the trail is the famous Chandratal Lake. The crystal blue waters of the lake will surely leave you spellbound.
