Alpather Lake Trek – The Path Less Explored
Alpather Lake is a small yet scenic alpine lake lying at the foothills of the twin Apharawat Peaks. The lake is situated at an altitude of 14400 feet and stays frozen for more than half the year. That is why it is more popularly known as the Frozen Lake among locals. While the frozen lake in Winter presents an ethereal snow-covered view, Summers brings out the enchanting emerald Lake into life with the otherwise stark landscape flecked with wild flowers.

About Alpather Lake
Alpather Lake is a small yet scenic alpine lake lying at the foothills of the twin Apharawat
Peaks. The lake is situated at an altitude of 14400 feet and stays frozen for more than half
the year. That is why it is more popularly known as the Frozen Lake among locals. While
the frozen lake in Winter presents an ethereal snow-covered view, Summers brings out the
enchanting emerald Lake into life with the otherwise stark landscape flecked with wild
flowers.
The lake can only be reached by trek from Gulmarg. As it is an offbeat place and is visited
by very few people, the serenity it offers is unparalleled. But it is not just the charm of the
lake, but the journey that makes it the experience of a lifetime.
