Kashmir offers a
series of a little less rigorous adventure sports, such
as Water Skiing, on Srinagar's Dal and Nagin Lakes, a
popular part time in the valley. Water trekking is
calculated to delight anyone wanting to explore the
valley in a boat. A Gondala, locally known as Shikara,
takes sightseers along a five-day route along rivers and
lakes situated within the valley. Enjoy spending nights
camping along the way. Trout fishing is another
delightful water sport in Kashmir and fishing season
lasts all through summer.

River
Rafting
A range of rafting
options is available on the Indus and its major
tributaries. The best stretch for professionally guided
runs in white water is on the Indus between Spituk and
Saspol. Beyond Saspol, the river becomes difficult and
funning it requires technically skilled participants and
careful organisation. Upward of Spituk, the Indus has the
easiest stretch up to Karu, ideal for basic training and
for day-return "scenic floating" for amateurs.

Trout
Fishing
Fishing
is big business in Kashmir through spring and summer. The
British introduced the brown and rainbow trout to the
streams of Kashmir, where they have thrived. At the same
time they introduced the system of anglers reserving '
beats' on their favorite river. Reservations for beats
should be made before one arrives in Kashmir, through an
Indian Government Tourist Office or directly to the
Tourist Reception Centre in Srinagar

Trekking
Trekking possibilities
include short, daylong walks up and down mountain slopes
to visit isolated villages or monastic settlements, or
across a ridge to enjoy the sheer beauty of the lunar
mountainscape. Or long, trans-mountain treks involving
weeks of walking and camping in the wilderness. For
example, the trek from Lamayuru in the Indus valley to
Darcha in Lahaul across Zanskar takes nearly three weeks.
Most of the established routes traverse the Zanskar range,
which separates the Indus valley from separates the Indus
valley from Zanskar.
