Kashmir’s ethereal beauty is mesmerizing, attracting poets, nature lovers, and tourists. Snow-capped mountains, glossy green meadows, incredibly quick rivers, alpine forests, gorgeous alpine lakes, and other natural features adorn the state’s terrain. Kashmir earns the name “Heaven on Earth.” Aside from its natural beauty, Kashmir is home to several notable Himalayan treks. One of them is the Tarsar Marsar trek. The Tarsar Marsar Secure Travels takes you deep into Kashmir’s heart. From the picturesque settlement of Aru to the Lidderwat clearings. From the Shekhawas’ sweeping green slopes to the enormous alpine lakes. Tarsar Marsar’s setting is so beautiful that it will leave you speechless for weeks!   About Tarsar Marsar Trek Tarsar Lake and Marsar Lake are alpine lakes inside the Kashmir Himalayas, placed at 13500ft and 15000ft, respectively. These lakes are related with the aid of using a mountain and are pretty similar. It is because of this that they’re known as dual sisters. Tarsar Marsar is 20 kilometers east of Kolahoi Mountain in Jammu & Kashmir’s Anantnag district. Marsar Lake is placed inside the Dachigam National Park’s on-the-spot vicinity. The lovely Tarsar Marsar Lake location, in addition to the breathtakingly stunning surroundings of the area, has piqued people’s hobby on the walks. Aside from Kashmir’s inherent classical romanticism, there are other aspects of trekking that are unique to it, and the Tarsar Marsar twin lakes trip puts them all together. Velvety grasslands, wandering among lovely and scented hovering pine trees, charming thatched-roofed hamlets populated by beautiful humans, exquisite serenity of azure waters, and camping by the trek’s name-giving glacial lakes What’s more, in terms of practical trekking, Tarsar Marsar does not pose a significant physical obstacle. Trek Highlights Aru’s atmosphere is practically European. The settlement is made up of a collection of charming homes with slanted tin roofs. The cottages are surrounded by willow and poplar trees. Climb a little higher and take a long circuitous route around the settlement, hugging the Aru pine woods. A small Gujjar village under pine trees is just outside our Lidderwat campsite, facing the Kolahoi glacier. It’s breathtaking to witness such little communities nestled within such massive pine trees. Do visit the settlement and learn about living in a bygone era. Inhale the scent of the pines. Just behind our campsite is a grassy ridge that climbs. This climb may be done without shoes because it is so green. It’ll suffice if you go barefoot – and the sensation is wonderful.  Brief Itinerary Day 1: Srinagar To Aru • Altitude:-2,400m/7,950ft• Depart Srinagar by 2 pm• Drive:- 4 hrs, Srinagar to Aru• Srinagar to Pahalgam 100 km to Aru 12 km• Transportation from Srinagar to Aru is included in the cost• Aru is on the bank of Lidder River• Since there are no shops around ensure that you have all that you need already• Please note that prepaid SIM cards do not work in Kashmir• Pahalgam is the last point where you will get a mobile network• Last ATM is in Pahalgam • Stay in Tent• Don’t forget to carry your ID proof in original and 2 photocopies Day 2: Aru to Lidderwat • Altitude – 2,800m/ 9,150ft• Trek:- 10 km trek, 6-7 hrs• Altitude Gain:- 400m/ 1,200ft• Easy terrain, gradual ascent• Water can be refilled from streams• Packed lunch on the way• Stay in tents Day 3: Lidderwat To Shekwas • Trek:- 6 km trek, 5 hrs• Altitude Gain:- 550m/ 1,850ft• Moderate terrain, continuous ascent for first few hours• Enough water sources on the way• One river crossing just before Homwas • Hot lunch at campsite• Stay in tents Day 4: Shekwas to Tarsar • Altitude:- 3,800m/ 12,500ft• Trek:- 4 km trek, 3-4 hrs• Altitude Gain:- 450m/ 1,500ft• Moderate terrain, continuous gradual ascent• Carry enough water, only a few natural sources are available• In the evening explore Tarsar Lake• Hot lunch at campsite• Stay in tent Day 5 : Tarsar To Sundarsar • Altitude:- 4,000m/ 13,100ft• Trek:- 6 km trek, 5 hrs• Altitude Gain: 200m/ 600ft• Moderate to difficult terrain• Steep ascent in the beginning till the pass, followed by a descent and then a gradual ascent till Sundarsar campsite• Carry enough water, only a few natural sources are available Day 6: Visit Marsar and then to Homwas • Altitude:- Marsar ridge 4, 100m/ 13,400ft, Homwas 3,500m/ 11,500ft• Trek:- 11 km trek, 7 hrs• Altitude Loss:- 500m/1,600ft• Moderate terrain • 50-minute continuous ascent to Marsar ridge• Gradual descent all the way to Homwas• Packed lunch on the way Day 7: Homwas To Aru • Altitude:-2,400m/7,950 ft • Trek:- 13 km trek, 6-7 hrs • Drive – 112km, 4 hrs, Srinagar to Aru • Easy terrain.
