Travel to the boundless, mountain valleys of Kashmir and trek to the twin lakes of Tarsar and Marsar. Over an itinerary of 7-days, you'll make your way across rolling meadows carpeted by soft and silky grass, clusters of huts populated by traditional shepherds and stay in tents pitched on the banks of sparkling lakes. Upon arriving at the twin lakes of Tarsar and Marsar, lose yourself in the luminous waters as they reflect the magnetic blues of the sky. Apart from the famous, twin lakes, you'll also camp besides the Sundarsar Lake.
The trek will take you over relatively easy trails with patches of strenuous climbing, making it ideal for fit beginners as well as experienced trekkers.
Located at 12,500 feet, the almond-shaped lake of Tarsar is the source of the Lidder River. Surrounded by green and brown mountains of the Kashmir Valley, the lake is frequented by trekkers and nature lovers exploring Kashmir. The lake of Marsar, situated inside the Dachigam National Park, attracts migratory birds like golden eagles and cinnamon sparrows as well as Himalayan fauna like musk deer and Kashmir stag.
The twin sister lakes of Tarsar and Marsar, highly renowned destinations for trekking enthusiasts, are inaccessible in winter since the sub-zero temperatures begin freezing the vast expanse of the lakes.
