Alpather Lake is a small lake located at the top of Apharwat peak in Gulmarg, near Gondola Phase 2 station. It is commonly referred to as the frozen lake by the locals, due to the fact that it remains completely frozen in the winter months. The post below provides details on how you can complete the Alpather Lake trek and how we managed to do it all on our own.<\/p>\n
Located at a height of 4,390 meters, the lake is a major tourist attraction in the small town of Gulmarg. It is surrounded by rocky mountains and lush green meadows that are covered with beautiful wildflowers. It is not just the lake but the entire journey to get there, that is an experience in itself.<\/p>\n
Journey So Far <\/strong><\/p>\n We attempted the Alpather lake trek on Day 2 of our stay in Gulmarg. As it turned out, the short but steep walk to the lake is what we enjoyed the most during our trip. It was this trek that actually made the entire Gondola ride worth it.<\/p>\n If you have any questions, you can\u00a0contact me on Instagram<\/a><\/strong>.
