Chinar and poplar trees are supplanted by fir, pine and oak lastly Burch trees, the high glades and an abundance of vivid wild blossoms. The straightforward villagers in the fields with their organic product plantations and paddy fields are supplanted by transient groups of Nomads/Gujjars, herders who cross the high mountain goes with their dairy cattle looking for greener fields. The primary ranges of fascination for the trekker in Kashmir are the Sind and Lidder valleys which bolster various high elevation glades. The townships of Sonamarg and Pahalgam are the principle trekking heads, both for short climbs and more treks in the Himalayas.
