After an early morning breakfast at 7:00 AM, we will collect our packed lunches and prepare to depart by 8:00 AM from Deno Valley, embarking on our ascent toward Tulian Valley. Embark on an unforgettable journey through a verdant and enchanting forest, where the towering Spruce, Pine, and Fir trees create a majestic canopy overhead, guiding you toward the hidden gem of Kashmir’s natural beauty – Baisaran, often referred to as the "mini Switzerland" of the region. As you ascend gradually over the course of three hours, each step brings you closer to a panoramic world of breathtaking scenery, where lush greenery, crisp mountain air, and tranquil vistas abound. The culmination of your ascent leads you to the serene and picturesque Kanimul campsite, a haven nestled amidst the grandeur of the surrounding landscape. This idyllic location not only offers an unparalleled opportunity for relaxation but also serves as a perfect spot for a leisurely and satisfying lunch, allowing you to soak in the surrounding beauty while rejuvenating for the next leg of your journey. From Kanimul, continue your exploration by traversing a gentle ridge that beckons you onward, before embarking on a smooth and scenic 2-kilometer trail that leads you through tranquil meadows and lush valleys. This path will guide you to the serene and awe-inspiring Tulian Valley, a destination that promises peace and solitude, offering you an experience unlike any other as you immerse yourself in the untouched splendor of Kashmir’s majestic landscapes. Upon returning to the campsite, you can settle in and unwind, enjoying a comforting cup of evening tea with snacks. As the day winds down, a warm, nourishing soup will be served to refresh us, followed by a hearty dinner with a sweet dish to round off the evening. The nights in these high-altitude mountains are typically star-filled, offering a perfect opportunity for stargazing, provided the weather is clear. The tranquil silence of the mountains combined with the celestial beauty above creates a serene and magical atmosphere, making this day of adventure truly unforgettable.

The day begins much like the previous one, with the first light of dawn heralding the start of another exhilarating adventure. At 6 a.m., the call to wake up echoes through the crisp morning air, signaling the beginning of a new day. By 7 a.m., a hearty breakfast awaits, providing the fuel needed for the day’s trek. By 8 a.m., we bid farewell to the campsite and embark on our journey from the serene Tulian Valley to the captivating Tulian Lake. Tulian Lake, nestled at an altitude of 3,700 meters, is a mesmerizing body of water cradled in the embrace of the majestic Tulian Mountain, also known as Katsal Peak. The lake's striking blue hue is accentuated by its unique figure-eight shape, creating a scene of unparalleled beauty. Surrounded by towering peaks and glaciers, the lake presents a stunning contrast of colors and textures, making it an enchanting sight for any traveler fortunate enough to witness it. We take our time to explore the area, allowing ourselves to fully absorb the splendor that surrounds us. The air is crisp and refreshing, the tranquility of the place offering a sense of peace and serenity. With each step along the shoreline, we are drawn deeper into the beauty of this high-altitude paradise, soaking in the views and marveling at the harmonious blend of nature’s elements that come together in this idyllic setting. The lake, with its shimmering surface reflecting the snow-capped peaks, creates a breathtaking atmosphere that stays etched in the memory long after we leave its shores. Upon returning to the campsite, you can settle in and unwind, enjoying a comforting cup of evening tea with snacks. As the day winds down, a warm, nourishing soup will be served to refresh us, followed by a hearty dinner with a sweet dish to round off the evening.

The day begins similarly to the previous one, with a wake-up call at 6 am, followed by breakfast at 7 am, and departure from the campsite by 8 am. As always, starting early will allow us to avoid the heat of the midday sun. We descend back from Tulian Valley towards Pahalgam taking the same route from which we had ascended. The descent will take approximately 7 hours. After reaching Ganeshbal , Pahlagam, which marks the culmination of our Tulian Lake Trek, we will travel back to Srinagar.
