How to Reach Alpather Lake in Gulmarg

The twin mountains of Alpather, make a triaingular space in between them to accommodate the Alpather Lake. Most months of the year, the lake stays frozen but as the summer months’ approach, the ice leads to ice berg islands and the water claims back its liquid blue state.

Alpather lake lies around 13 kms away from the Gulmarg town. With a backdrop of snow-capped mountains and acres of lush green terrain, this is just the place where you would want to go to escape from the hustle bustle of cities. For adventure seekers and fit tourists, a trek of one-day consisting of thirteen kms, will take you to Alpather Lake from Gulmarg(via Khilanmarg).

If you are not that adventurous on foot, then just take the alternative short hike of 1.5km from the Gondola Phase II of Mt. Apharwat. To reach Phase II, you need to reach Phase I from base first. The base of Mt. Apharwat has a Gondola ticket office from where you can sit on a Gondola to transport you to Phase I. From Phase I you need to take another separate Gondola ride to get to Phase II. The journey through Gondolas is as magnificent as the nature that surrounds it.

Even if that 1.5kms walk does not suit you, then you can hire a pony to take you to the Alpather lake. Just a few bucks and a short comfortable ride is all it takes to reach Lake Apharwat.

Also, if you are a professional rider and got good control over horses, you can hire a horse of your own and reach the lake. It is one pleasant and picturesque ride through green woods. Other tourists who are not professionals are advised to take a guide along with the horse for safety purpose.

This lake is not to be missed in your itinerary, however tight your schedule might get. It is just out of a movie scene and getting here is not difficult at all. There are various means by which every person of every age can get to this beautiful lake. Go ahead and enjoy the dreaminess!

Gurram Muralikrishna

Srinagar international airport

Gurram's 6 days trip to Gulmarg

All good with Capture Kashmir tour operator. Ms. Mehak was passionate to organize the tour. Driver Aizeez was decent. The hotel arrangements are good except in the Hotel Devine Oak at Katra. We asked for single room with Quad sharing for 4 persons. Hence the room sizes in Hotel Azizia in Srinagar,

Frosty mountain in Pahalgam were given good rooms. House boat experience at Srinagar was good except some communication gap between operator and boat organizer. On the whole , the tour went on well with Capture Kashmir. Also Thanks to Travel triangle.

Akshat Saxena

Faridabad

Akshat's 6 days trip to Gulmarg

"Finally, we completed our trip to Kashmir. It started well, as per the itinerary promised by Arooz. However, the Pahalgam attack drastically changed things, and we were eager to leave Kashmir and head back home due to the fear that gripped every face. But then, a magical turn came in our trip and

I am very much thankful to Arooz(Breezy Travels) and Amir(Our Cab Driver). I messaged Arooz to change our hotel due to the attack, and she assured me that she would take care of it. Within no time, she changed my hotel. When I checked into the new hotel, my family and I felt safe, especially since an Indian army bunker was nearby. I asked Arooz to cancel our houseboat and continue with the hotel. Arooz worked tirelessly to secure a room for one more day, and finally succeeded. Throughout our trip, she kept calling and sending WhatsApp messages to check if we were okay and feeling safe. She even offered us to stay at her home, saying we were her responsibility. Her efforts touched our hearts, and we started feeling safe in Kashmir. We also can't forget our driver, Amir, who was with us for all six days. He became like family, and after the Pahalgam attack, he reassured me, "Don't worry, sir. I'll take a bullet before anything happens to you." He would call me multiple times a day to check if I was okay, if I'd eaten, and sometimes he'd arrive hours early just to boost my morale. The most touching moment was when he brought mangoes and bananas for my little child, saying, "Please take this so your child can have it when they're hungry." He even took me to a bat shop to fulfill my dream of owning a Kashmir willow bat." But I am expecting partial refund as I was like house arrest in hotel for half of my trip which I accept no one's fault, not you, travel agent or anyone... It's just if possible please provide partial refund Sonmarg snow mountains, kashmir willow bat

Deependra's 5 days trip to Gulmarg

Really not had a good experience this time with travel traingle, disappoiting. I had to skip some part of my kashmir trip due to pahalgam incident. Have to separtley book my return which cost me extra money and now when i am trying to call travel traingle agents regarding reimbursement of my remini

ng money as i hav not complted my trip . They are not picking up phone. Very disappointing.

Sujit Iter

Bhubaneswar

Sujit's 5 days trip to Gulmarg

The Trip was awesome. It was my most awaited trip to remembered lifeline. Travel agent Farah from Hermosa trips has managed every thing very carefully . The driver provided by agent i.e. Imtiyaz was very helpful and caring. He fulfilled all our requirements including travel, food and shopping. Love

to recommend all to book your trip through Hermosa trips. Only problem we faced was we had to book flight tickets from Srinagar to Jammu with a much higher price which was not expected. That happened due to landslide in Srinagar Jammu Highway. Though Farah managed the Hotel to airport drop the reschedule costs us Apx Rs 40000 more including that additional flight tickets and another day stay at Hotel . Initially as per package Katra Drop was included. Would have been more happy if any additional help in terms of some refund was there.
