Towering 6 Days Kolahoi Glacier Kashmir Tour Package | Grand

The drive southeast from Srinagar to Pahalgam covers approximately 96 kilometres through the Jhelum and Lidder valleys, taking around 2 to 2.5 hours. Pahalgam at approximately 2,130 metres on the Lidder River is the overnight base before the trail begins on Day 3.
The afternoon is for the Lidder riverbank and an early rest — the Day 3 drive to Aru and the subsequent walking requires energy from the morning. The Pahalgam evening is also the last point of reliable ATM access and full mobile network before the trail zone. A certified local guide for the Aru to Lidderwat to glacier approach should be confirmed through the Bon team before this kolahoi glacier kashmir tour package departs. Overnight at Pahalgam.

The drive from Pahalgam to Aru Village covers approximately 12 kilometres on a road that ends at the village edge, taking around 30 to 40 minutes. Aru at approximately 2,400 metres is the last settlement with guest house accommodation before the open trail — a small pastoral village where the Aru stream meets the wider Lidder valley system and where the trekking groups that do the Kolahoi circuit typically stage their Day 1 camp.
The afternoon of this kolahoi glacier kashmir tour package is for the Aru to Lidderwat lower trail section — a walk of approximately 5 to 6 kilometres through open meadow that covers the first third of the Day 4 route as a warm-up and a read of the terrain above. Overnight at Aru Village guest house.

Day 4 is the deepest point of this kolahoi glacier kashmir tour package. The walk from Aru to Lidderwat meadow at approximately 3,175 metres covers approximately 8 kilometres with approximately 775 metres of elevation gain — a 3 to 4 hour ascent through the upper Lidder valley where the vegetation thins from forest to open alpine meadow as the elevation increases.
Lidderwat is a wide flat meadow at the head of the valley below the glacier zone — a traditional shepherd camp in summer that trekking groups use as the Kolahoi base overnight. The glacier snout of Kolahoi is approximately 2 to 3 kilometres above Lidderwat on the upper approach — visible from the meadow camp and reachable in the morning hours before the return walk begins. Overnight at Lidderwat meadow camp.

The Lidderwat morning gives this kolahoi glacier kashmir tour package its final high-altitude hour — the meadow at approximately 3,175 metres before the descent, the Kolahoi peak above and the glacier visible on the upper face. The walk from Lidderwat back to Aru covers approximately 8 kilometres in around 2.5 to 3 hours on the descent.
The vehicle picks up at Aru Village for the drive back to Pahalgam. The Pahalgam overnight gives the group a proper hotel rest after two nights above 2,400 metres — the river, the warm room and the Pahalgam bazaar in the evening carry a specific relief that the meadow camp makes sharply welcome. Overnight at Pahalgam.

The final morning of the kolahoi glacier kashmir tour package is in Pahalgam before the drive northwest to Srinagar Airport. The Pahalgam to Srinagar drive covers approximately 96 kilometres in around 2 to 2.5 hours. Groups with afternoon or evening departures have the Srinagar morning for a final stop at Lal Chowk for saffron, dry fruit or Kashmiri craft before the airport drop.
For a group returning from Lidderwat the Srinagar city level carries the specific reentry quality that two nights above 3,000 metres earns — the traffic and the heat and the mobile network all feel different from the meadow side. The Bon Voyagers vehicle drops at Srinagar Airport for the return flight.
