Leave the hotels and crowds behind and immerse yourself in the raw, untouched beauty of the Himalayas with our 3-Day Alpine Camping in Gulmarg adventure. This tour is for the soul that craves open skies, crackling bonfires, and waking up to panoramic mountain vistas right outside your tent. It’s the perfect blend of thrilling activity and peaceful relaxation.
Your basecamp will be in the stunning high-altitude meadows of Kongdori, a place of serene beauty far from the bustle of the main town. Over three days, you will explore lush forests, trek to a mystical alpine lake, and spend your evenings sharing stories around a warm bonfire under a blanket of a million stars. Our experienced local guides will handle all the logistics, from setting up comfortable tents to cooking delicious hot meals, so you can focus purely on the experience.
This isn’t just a trek; it’s a chance to connect with nature, challenge yourself, and create memories that a regular hotel stay could never offer.
Meet our team at the Gulmarg main market at 11:30 AM. From here, your adventure begins! We'll ascend to the beautiful Kongdori meadows (10,000 ft), our home for the next two nights. Upon arrival, we'll set up our scenic campsite. In the afternoon, we'll take a short, acclimatizing walk through the enchanting surrounding forest. As evening falls, enjoy a delicious hot dinner cooked on-site, followed by a cozy bonfire under the vast, starry sky.
After a hearty mountain breakfast, we begin the highlight of our trip: the trek to Apharwat Frozen Lake (Alpathri Lake). This stunning high-altitude lake remains semi-frozen even in peak summer. The trek is a gradual ascent through picturesque landscapes, taking about 3 hours. For those seeking a more relaxed option, you can choose to take the Gondola (Phase 2) up, significantly reducing the trek time. After spending time at the lake, we descend back to our campsite for another relaxing evening of bonfire and dinner.
Wake up to a glorious sunrise over the Himalayas and enjoy a final, leisurely breakfast at our campsite. You'll have some free time to soak in the views or take one last walk around Kongdori. Afterwards, we will pack up our camp and begin our descent back to the Gulmarg main market, concluding our unforgettable camping adventure. You'll leave with a camera full of photos and a heart full of mountain memories.
No. This adventure is designed for beginners with a good level of fitness. If you can walk for a few hours with some uphill sections, you can do this trek. It's more about the experience than the difficulty.
We use hygienic toilet tents with deep-dug pit toilets that are sanitary and environmentally friendly. This is the standard practice for responsible trekking in the Himalayas.
You should bring warm layered clothing, a waterproof jacket, sturdy trekking shoes, a sun hat, sunglasses, sunblock, a small personal backpack, a water bottle, and a torch/headlamp.
Absolutely. We prioritize safety and inclusivity. Solo female travellers will be provided with their own tent for privacy and comfort. Our guides are professional and sensitized.
We provide simple yet nutritious and delicious vegetarian meals (e.g., dal, rice, sabzi, roti, poha, porridge) and eggs for breakfast. We also serve evening tea/coffee and snacks.
The mountains are unpredictable. Our guides are experienced in handling various weather conditions. We have emergency protocols in place, and the final decision on the trek route will always be based on the safety of the group.
