The Tarsar Marsar Kashmir is best done in 7 days with one day as acclimatization at Aru Valley. In 6 days of walking, this trek goes over the varied landscape of Kashmir, making it the best highlight of Kashmir’s eternal natural beauty. This trek is best recommended for beginners.

There are only a few treks in India that are highly recommended for beginners and at the same time carry such a clean landscape. Tarsar Marsar exposes the bundle of trekking vistas for new hikers. The trek is neither strenuous nor a simple walk-through of woods. But a genuine less strenuous trek. It doesn’t have a sharp incline or decline. It has no cliffs, no threatening wildlife, or no maze of jungle where one can lose the way.

Tour highlights

Embark on an unforgettable adventure to Tarsar Lake, where azure waters mirror the surrounding snow-capped peaks, offering trekkers a tranquil retreat.

Explore the breathtaking Lidderwat Valley, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Kashmir, and immerse yourself in its pristine alpine beauty on your trekking journey.

Experience the serene beauty of Dal Lake and try the Shikara Ride as you embark on an unforgettable trekking adventure amidst the picturesque landscapes of Kashmir.
