Hidden in the untouched meadows of the Pir Panjal range, the Bodpathri Lakes Trek is a short yet soul-stirring alpine adventure in Kashmir. This offbeat trek takes you through lush valleys, pristine grasslands, and a cluster of hidden glacial lakes that remain untouched by crowds.
Starting from Doodhpathri, this 4-day trek is ideal for nature lovers who want to experience Kashmir’s raw alpine beauty without venturing too far or high. The trail winds through pine forests, shepherd hamlets, and serene meadows, leading you to the shimmering lakes of Pamsar, Damamsar, Bodsar, and more — all framed by distant snow-capped peaks.
Perfect for beginners or those short on time, the Bodpathri trek offers majestic landscapes, solitude, and a close connection with nature.
Drive from Srinagar to Doodhpathri (around 2.5 hours). Begin your trek through pine forests and gradually climb into open meadows of Ashtar Valley. Camp under the stars in a tranquil meadow.
Start your alpine journey deeper into the Bodpathri region. Cross ridges and meadows to reach the stunning twin lakes of Pamsar and Bodsar. These glacial lakes are calm, crystal-clear, and surrounded by wildflowers. Camp nearby.
Spend the morning exploring nearby alpine lakes and ridges, take in the scenery, and click some unforgettable photos. Trek back to Ashtar Valley, tracing your path with changing views of the valley.
Descend back to Doodhpathri and drive to Srinagar, where your trek concludes. Optionally, spend the night on a houseboat or continue your travels through Kashmir.
