Pristine 5 Days Vishansar Lake Kashmir Tour Package | Glassy
Overview
Vishansar Lake sits at approximately 3,710 metres in the high Himalayan zone above Sonamarg — the second and larger of the twin lakes in the Kashmir Great Lakes circuit, reached by extending the same trail that leads to Krishansar Lake above it. The lake is approximately 2 kilometres long and the surrounding peaks feed its water through summer snowmelt, keeping the surface temperature cold through most of the year and the shoreline free of the algae that lower-altitude lakes carry in warm weather. The surface on a calm morning reflects the sky and the ridge above it with a fidelity that makes even a telephoto lens feel unnecessary. This vishansar lake kashmir tour package uses Sonamarg as the vehicle base and the full-day trail as the reason for the trip — built around the Jammu gateway for travellers arriving by train or road from Jammu rather than by flight to Srinagar.
Bon Voyagers handles the pickup from Jammu Railway Station or Airport and covers four nights with a private Innova, Xylo or Scorpio class vehicle throughout. Day 1 drives from Jammu through the Banihal Tunnel to Srinagar for the overnight. Day 2 drives northeast to Sonamarg for the first of two base nights. Day 3 is the Vishansar Lake trail. Day 4 returns to Srinagar for the overnight before the Day 5 return to Jammu. Daily breakfast and dinner on MAP basis throughout.

Best Time to Visit
The Vishansar Lake trail above Sonamarg is accessible from approximately late June through September. July and August give the most reliable trail conditions and the warmest temperatures at lake level. The lake surface in July reflects the surrounding peaks at its clearest on calm mornings. September gives quieter trail conditions and the first autumn colour on the lower meadow sections. Sonamarg at 2,740 metres stays cool through summer with an alpine climate.
