Nafran Valley Trek – A special trek in Kashmir Valley
Himalayan Hikers are looking for another trek (Nafran Valley Trek) in Kashmir that is special to our trekkers and that matches the famous treks of Kashmir Great Lakes Trek and Tarsar Marsar Trek. When the people of Aru’s village told our team that there is another trek like foot tarsar marsar whose name is Nafran Valley, you think about it. Nafran Valley Trek Highest Altitude is 14,127 feet. We went on its quest with brother Fayaz, he is local from Aru village even for our team, there was no special treasure work.
A new discovery Nafran Valley Trek.
When the Himalayan Hikers team came back after discovering this trek, the people of our team told us that this trek can be a special trek no less than Tarsar Marsar Trek.
The Nafran Valley Trek is a very lush green forest bugyal. Perennially nourished by the plain waters of the Kolahoi Glacier trek route , the valley remains a spectacular green. In July, the meadows look like a soft green carpet, which gradually turns into flower gardens in the month of August.
What is the best time for Nafran Valley Trek?
The best time to trek Nafran Valley is from the last week of June to the end of September. It is the season for the traditional monsoon trek in the rest of the Indian subcontinent, but things are different here and in the Kashmir Valley.
We know that Kashmir receives only light rainfall in July and August. Instead of the other state, it is said to be the Pir Panjal range which blocks most of the rain clouds from reaching the Kashmir nafran Valley. Consider it a boon as it offers a comfortable trekking experience but if we understand, the one season that Nafran Valley Trek takes in four months – June, July, August and September, both changes its look and color with time.

Dhruvit Parekh –
Actually we went for Tarsar Marsar Trek but due to unavoidable circumstances at the last moment it was changed to Nafran Valley Trek. But even after this last moment changes Team manages to do very beautiful Trek very smoothly.
I can definitely say that the food provided by the team is the best. We’re getting delicious different different desserts at 13000 ft.
Guides and whole team was very supportive and we played a lot together. We’re like family and missing them.
Again Thank you and must visit.
