Nafran Valley trek is one of the offbeat tourist places which is designed in the Kashmir territory and is located in the heart of the Himalayas. It is a natural, uncultivated area that is famous for the great view, wonderful landscapes and somewhat challenging terrains, quiet peaceful and secluding. I would like to describe Nafran Valley as a place with high need if you are an enthusiastic trekker or if you are looking for a place where you can find calmness and quietness.

Why Nafran Valley?

Therefore, the Nafran Valley Trek can be regarded as one of the most stunning treks which offers comparatively difficult but not very complex trails and numerous opportunities to get acquainted with the local culture. In contrast to well-known treks such as KLUTG and TMM, Nafrar is solely surrounded by modest trees and detached from any human intrusion.

The Scenic Splendour

Perhaps, walking can be considered the insisted activity in this place since it features the peak of mountains, the green colourful meadows, and the alpine forests. Precisely this the Nafran Valley does. Starting from the day when one finds himself at the start line of the trek at a beautiful Aru village the whole scene is reminiscent of the trekking at the Kashmir Great Lake which is quite famous all over the world. The route again goes through the scented pine trees based on the water of the Aru River with the August mountains.

Flora and Fauna

This valley is a bio-diversity zone; some flowers of alpine regions and coniferous trees are found in this valley. Thus, perhaps, tourists can also get a view of such objects as the Himalayan ibex, snow leopard, etc., and several birds. It is indeed a living statement and largely reflects how pure and pristine the world is.

The Trekking Experience

The walking pace in the Nafran Lowlands is moderate so the area can be recommended to any trekkers regardless of their level of repetitiveness. It also has both the natural tufts of grass and normal rocks on along the mountain ridges to make the trekking even more exciting.

Key Highlights

Harnag Lake

This is a calm, lovely lake that has been placed at 11,480 feet above sea level. Camping near Harnag Lake will indeed prove to be an adventurous one for lovers.

Kolahoi Glacier

For traversing the ancient Harnag Pass one is bestowed with the sights of the Kolahoi peak and glacier in a pristine natural setting that makes one realize how small he is in this world.

Best Time to Trek the Nafran Valley

The most preferable season to go for the Nafran Valley Trek is from June to September.

Everything is blooming and the terrains are most gorgeous at this time of the year. Although rainy seasons are experienced in July and August there are light rains which do not in any way affect the trekking.

Close-up Glacier Views: The Kolahoi Glacier which has steep and huge ice walls as a base is something that a trekker will always wish to see.

Conclusion

Summing it up, therefore, there is no gainsaying that the Nafran Valley Trek may be rightfully deemed as one of the unbeaten tracks in the world with regards to the pleasant natural vistas, accompanying the trekkers; the inherent characteristic of the cultural profile of the people inhabiting the region; and the thrill that the walk presents.
