The story
Ask any trekker for India's most beautiful trail and this is the answer. Seven days between Sonamarg and Naranag, crossing meadows the size of districts and a new alpine lake almost daily — Vishansar, Krishansar, Gadsar, the Gangbal twins under Harmukh.
Full camping support, 13,750ft max altitude, moderate fitness needed. The photographs will do your bragging.
