Sketch Itinerary
Tarsar Marsar Trek is arguably one of the best treks in India. It is unmatched in its scenic beauty and serenity in its ambiance. This trek is a traditional trek of Kashmir and is in vogue since 20th century. Generations have trekked this world famous trek that sits in the lap of luscious meadows and enchanting mountains. The campsites beside its glacier-fed lakes are other-wordly. The mountain chains are wide and long running parallel to the shimmering Lidder river.
It holds three alpine lakes: Tarsar, Marsar & Sundersar Lakes. All three lakes are unmatched in their beauty and are unique in their own ways. The view of Marsar, which is eternally shrouded in clouds that scatter around, from a cliff gives it a fascinating look. An almond shaped Tarsar Lake has a feel of divinity. It makes one forget about the world and its tantrums and takes one into the world of serenity and calmness.
Its grasslands are vast and lush. The shepherds dott them with their flock & the mud houses that are cozily fit into the mountain sides make this magnificient.
The place holds religious significance, too, with saints and priests renouncing life (in old times) and going into this valley for meditation and peace. The water of Tarsar Lake forms the Lidder River.
The trek begins from Aru. It’s a moderate trek with mild ascents and descents leading to a beautiful camping meadow, Lidderwat. The trek has a mix of both forests and meadows, and it runs parallel to the shimmering Lidder River.
This day of the trek is moderate. It has a gradual ascnet for about 2 hours with few flat surface trails. The trek offers Bakerwal shelters, meadows, many water streams where you can refill your water bottles. On this day the treks walks throug thick pine forestm crosses over water streams and has to cross a wooden bridge. En route one can find many nomad huts, one can have a tea there while taking a short rest.
The third day of the trek takes us near Tarsar Lake, an almond-shaped alpine lake. The lake is overlooked by mighty mountain peaks like Kolahoi peak. The trail passes through few ridges which give a bird’s view of the area around. Before reaching and camping near Tarsar Lake, one has to ford a stream strewn with boulders and rocks. The water of the lake is turquoise blue which is a delight to behold.
As one passes the Tarsar Pass, one sees a wide stretch of grassy land that leads to Sundersar. The lush green land soothes the eyes and has a serene feel. En route, one sees flocks of cattle grazing lazily against the background of stunning mountains and forest covers. The treat of this day is the stunning Sundersar Lake.
The trail is tricky with some gradient. One reaches Marsar Lake, a twin-sister of Tarsar Lake. The Marsar Lake connects with Dachigam National Park and drains its waters through this park into Dal Lake. All along the trail, the views are scenic and pristine. An overnight stay at Homwas.
This is the last day of the trek. It is a descent and goes via Lidderwat to Aru. The same day we drive to Srinagar for an overnight stay.
