At Qudrat Adventures, we elevate your Kashmir Great Lakes trek with thoughtful, high-end touches that go beyond the ordinary. Our premium packages are designed for comfort, safety, and a memorable wilderness experience – without compromising the thrill of the Himalayas.
Unlike standard treks that crowd 30–40 participants, our group size is limited to around 13 trekkers. This ensures better coordination, more personalized attention from guides, and a quieter, more intimate connection with nature.
You’ll stay in wind- and rain-resistant tents, sleep in minus 15°C sleeping bags, and use clean, well-maintained cutlery and gear. Every piece of equipment—from tents to toilet setups—is hygienic, durable, and designed for high-altitude comfort.
We provide dedicated male and female toilet tents, spacious dining tents with chairs/stools, and full-time helpers to set up the camp and assist you throughout. You won’t have to worry about setup or clean-up—we take care of it all.
With a high ratio of guides to trekkers, you’ll always have help when needed. Our certified trek leaders, cooks, porters, and helpers are not only experienced but also genuinely committed to making your journey smooth and enjoyable.
