The Kolahoi Glacier sits above the Lidder Valley and rewards strong hikers with close-up ice and moraine scenery beneath the highest peak in the Kashmir Valley.
This is a serious mountain route: steep climbs, possible snow early or late season, and exposure to fast-changing weather. A fit group with prior Himalayan trekking experience will enjoy it most; first-timers should consider shorter acclimatisation walks first.
Typical approaches stage out of Pahalgam or nearby villages, with guides handling permits and camp logistics where required. We recommend building in buffer days in Srinagar or Pahalgam for weather holds.
We coordinate dependable vehicles for valley transfers, realistic day-zero timing from Srinagar airport, and clear communication on what gear and fitness level this trek expects.
