On request

Date: TBD

Warwan Trek is one of the eight ancient Trans Himalayan traverses that transcend from Ladakh Himalayas (Suru valley) to Kashmir Himalayas. Known as the salt route, for centuries Trans Himalayan traders from Kashmir and Ladakh have passed through here. This trek is unique and highly adventurous for multiple reasons; for one this is one of the few treks which give trekkers a rare opportunity to get a taste of both the stark beauty of Ladakh and the lush green valleys of Kashmir. The highlight of this trek is a 9km long glacier traverse while crossing the Lonvilad pass as you transcend from higher Himalayas into the lower Himalayas. The path weaves through probably the remotest and immaculate ways of Kashmir, leaving you miles of undisturbed magnificence to treasure. Even though this is a moderate evaluation trek, it tends to be finished by beginners too yet just with the legitimate arrangement since this trek includes long strolls every day over a differing scene and a thin strenuous path.
