Tarsar Marsar Trek

Description

Tarsar Marsar Trek is one of the most scenic high-altitude treks in Kashmir, known for its twin alpine lakes surrounded by lush meadows and towering peaks. Unlike snow treks, this trail offers vibrant greenery, wildflowers, and mirror-like lakes reflecting the sky.

The trek takes you deep into the untouched valleys of Aru, where shepherd trails lead to breathtaking campsites beside Tarsar and Sundarsar lakes. The dramatic Marsar Lake, often wrapped in mist, adds a mystical charm to the journey.

This trek is ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and those seeking a peaceful yet adventurous Himalayan experience.
