The drive from Srinagar to Sonmarg and then to Sitkari is extremely scenic and will present you with a lot of photo opportunities. You will come across grasslands, scattered forests and snow- covered mountains. As an added, we will also take you to Zero Point and Zoji La Pass for sightseeing.

The trek to Vishnasar lake is a steep ascent where you will have to cross the Nichani pass that stands at a grueling altitude of 4,080 m. You descend towards Vishansar and Kishansar lakes and into the Vishansar campsite. You can visit the Vishansar lake which is situated about 1 Km from the campsite. Nothing that we say or write can prepare you for the beauty of the alpine high altitude lake. Surrounded by mountains and being hard to access, the waters of the lake are crystal clear and change color as the day proceeds. You are guaranteed to start feeling rejuvenated just sitting by the lake and listening to the lapping sounds of the water and soaking in the scenic beauty.

Today you trek to attain another height of 250 m from the Vishansar lake to see the Kishansar lake. This lake is situated about 1-2 km from the Vishansar lake. While the Vishansar and Kishansar lakes are situated quite close to each other, it can only be seen as twin lakes from Gadsar pass. Gadsar pass is located at an altitude of 4,191 m and the trek up to Gadsar pass is quite challenging and will put a lot of pressure on your back and legs. Having said that, the breathtaking views from the pass will compensate for the effort you’ve put in. Upon reaching the pass, you will start descending into flat meadows, that are entirely covered by wildflowers to finally reach Gadsar lake.

We visited Coorg from 16 to 19 June 2025 with our infant. Our pickup was from Bangalore airport , we were a bit worried as the journey from Bangalore to Coorg was of 5:30 - 6 hours and our daughter was with us, but everything went well with a 7 seater car and a good driver to accompany us provided by Cloud runners. We choose Hill crest resort- 2 deluxe cottages. Amenities mentioned in brochure of hotel rooms were not assembled before but provided when asked. Insects in the rooms were expected bcz of Coorg weather but hotel staff took care of it when informed. Overall our trip was smooth and relaxing though travelling with our 4 months lo, credit goes to the Cloud runners, u guys r doing a great job.
We had amazing family trip to Bangalore very well organized by Mr.Abhijeet Sen...Everything was very well planned and organised food accomodation and travelling facility was good even the driver was good...We had lot of fun nd memories....Thank you so much Cloud Runners
We recently went on a trip to Sikkim & Darjling arranged by cloud runners trekking world and arrangements were awesome and everything was as planned.....Great experience.
"Our stay at all hotels was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were spotless, the amenities were top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Management was attentive and ensured a smooth and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!"
We booked our trip to Kerala based on a friend’s recommendation, looking for a comfortable yet budget-friendly experience for my husband and me. From start to finish, the trip exceeded our expectations. Over five wonderful days, we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect—be it accommodation, food, or transportation—everything was seamless and well-organized. We returned home with beautiful memories, and a special thanks to Abhijit, who was always there to guide us and managed everything flawlessly. We truly appreciate his efforts in making our trip so enjoyable! I would surely recommend cloud runners to my friends and family.
Our honeymoon trip to Kashmir with Cloud Runners was absolutely amazing! From the warm Kahwa welcome to a beautiful candlelight dinner at Central Park, everything was well-organised. The food was great, and our driver was incredibly helpful and friendly, making the journey even more enjoyable. A big thank you to Abhijeet Bhaiya, who stayed in constant touch, ensuring a smooth and safe trip. We faced no difficulties, and the experience was truly hassle-free. Highly recommend Cloud Runners for a perfect travel experience!❤️ Dil se shukriya for this beautiful experience✨🥂
Our experience was wonderful.... Team members of cloud runners were very cooperative... We did not face any problem even network was not available in some places... Cab drivers were punctual.... Everything was good during our trip
I can’t say enough good things about Cloud Runners! I recently traveled to Bhutan and the Maldives with them, and both trips were nothing short of spectacular. From the moment I reached out to plan my travel, they handled everything with such professionalism and care that I could truly just relax and enjoy the experience. In Bhutan, they curated an itinerary that perfectly balanced exploring its natural beauty and culture, with seamless transfers, knowledgeable guides, and stays at some of the most serene places. The Maldives trip felt like a dream—everything from the resort selection to the biggest and smallest details like transfers and activities were meticulously planned. Cloud Runners has been my go-to travel agency for a while now, and they continue to be so. They truly understand what makes a trip special and ensure that you have a smooth, hassle-free experience from start to finish. If you want a stress-free, unforgettable travel experience, Cloud Runners is the way to go! Can’t wait to plan my next adventure with them.
Amazing experience with CloudRunners, ManyMany thanks to Mr.Abhijeet bro for organizing our Andaman trip so beautiful “He made an unknown territory feels like our hometown with his plan” I would say this is not just a trip that he had planed instead he planned our memories with beautiful locations, stays and stressless commute from the beginning till end of our journey. I have been traveling to many places since 2015 but this is my first trip which I didn’t involve in planning anything and totally relayed on CloudRunners and ended with great experience. From now on those days were gone - like planning for a trip, searching for scenic/Unique locations, best/secured hotels and itinerary, however all these can be done with a single call 📞 to Mr.Abhijeet😎
We r glad to choose Cloud runners for arranging our honeymoon trip to Andman . One of the best decision ever❤️ all the arrangements they made were perfect nd we didn't face any inconvenience. Abhijit thankyou for everything 💐
I visited valley of flowers and hemkund sahib trek in August 2021 with cloud runners, the entire trip was organised very well, the bus driver was veryy veryyy sweet and friendly which made our trip peaceful. The Weather in uttarakhand has been very unpredictable in Uttrakhand, although the team especially abhijeet was giving updates regularly about the weather and situation. That was very helpful. I had a veryy nice experience with cloud runners. And the trek was amazing, the guides were very friendly and the stay and food was also decent as per the location. Thanks cloud runners for such a great experience ☺

His advice made our journey much more enjoyable and stress-free. Thanks to his support, we were able to explore Kashmir to the fullest and create beautiful memories. We truly appreciate his efforts and highly recommend his services to anyone planning a trip.
Unmatched Serenity Thanks to Abhijeet and Cloud Runners, we experienced Ooty like never before. The property was exquisite, offering mesmerizing views in the morning and a calming starry canvas at night. It was the perfect blend of nature and comfort. Can’t recommend it enough!
