Overview

Kashmir, the 'paradise on earth,' is universally acclaimed as the home to some of the most spectacular treks in the Himalayas. The Tarsar Marsar Trek is the crown jewel among them.

Perched at a cloud-piercing altitude of 13,201 ft, the Tarsar Marsar Trek features majestic trails and three alpine lakes—Tarsar, Marsar, and Sundarsar—that enhance each other's beauty.

As you trek through these pristine lakes, you'll be captivated by the lush green meadows of Kashmir, embraced by thick avenues of splendid Chinar tree forests, and the spellbinding Lidder River, also known as a glacier river flowing from the Kolahoi Glacier.

Throughout the day, you'll be amazed by the variable shades of the snow-fed lakes, which change with the angle of the sun.
