Sandwiched between Ladakh and Kashmir is unknown to even the locals of Kashmir
Warwan Trek is one of the eight ancient Transhimalayan 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 Lomvilad pass as you transcend from higher Himalayas into the lower Himalayas.

Is this for me?
If you enjoy trekking in relatively remote and less touristy regions, appreciate breathtaking mountain scenery, and are prepared for the physical demands of trekking at higher altitudes, the Warwan Valley trek could be a great choice for you. However, if you're a beginner or have limited trekking experience, you might want to consider starting with less demanding treks and gradually building up your skills and endurance.
