A Picturesque Winter Trek in Kashmir ( Marchoi Trek ):
The Marchoi Trek is a chilly hiking experience near Kangan, Jammu
and, Kashmir. This trek follows a pathway that rambles alongside the Wangath
River, traverses an iced ravine that is translucent and filled with icicles,
and provides a breathtaking view of appealing Himalayan mountains from Marchoi
Top, such as Mt Harmukh, Kotwal Peak, Salnai Valley, and more. The trail also
passes through a section of forest before opening up onto a huge field and
climbing to Marchoi Top, also known as Shadimarg Top. The walk is well-known
for its biodiversity and bird observation. It is an excellent trek in Kashmir.
Trekking in Kashmir has never been more picturesque. On the route,
stop for a cup of hot Kehwa/tea and explore the woods and mud dwellings. Leave
your footprints in freshly drizzled snow and enjoy a bonfire at night. Kashmiri
food would be served to you along with lovely company. The valley gets
blanketed in a rainbow of seasonal flowers stretching into a spectrum of
colors. The best part about this trek is that it’s situated in an untouched
part of Kashmir where beauty shines through. This is one of the best Kashmir
trekking packages.
The trip to Macholi isn’t too difficult. One of the first places you
will see on this trek is Naranag. Marchoi Meadow is a two to three hours
journey from Naranag, a climbing base camp, and therefore is accessible to
Srinagar by road, which takes around an hour to complete. The hike to Domail
isn't particularly strenuous, but it's noticeable due to the high elevation.
Following an arriving rivulet, one can hike for hours to Marchoi field and
others to fully appreciate the character. In the spring, the combination of
pine trees, various plants, and thus the ice creates a unique scene. Naranag is
a tourist destination with ancient temple ruins. Come along on this Winter trek
in Kashmir.
Usually, people like to go on this trek from November to February since
the snow falls all over the trek, making it extremely scenic.
