Tarsar Marsar Trek
One of the newest treks in the monsoon season that is attracting more and more interest from trekkers is the Tarsar Marsar trip. This walk has all the characteristics of a Kashmir valley hike, including quiet alpine lakes, verdant meadows with wildflowers, and vast expanses of green.
Undoubtedly, the most beautiful hike in India is Tarsar Marsar trek . We do not grant treks this title casually. Particularly if Kashmir Great Lakes, its challenging sibling trek, is included.
The Tarsar Marsar excursion, however, brings to life the alpine lakes. It’s not simply that you get to camp next to these brilliant blue, snow-fed lakes (KGL doesn’t provide you with the same camping opportunity). Or the seclusion of these campsites, which is a blessing in today’s trekking situation.
OVERVIEW
You may see the same lake from several different angles as you travel around Tarsar and Sundersar’s whole perimeter!
Finally, there is the mysterious Marsar, which is practically never visible due to cloud cover. Located 600–700 feet below us, this lake is visible from an overhang. The sun rising just above the lake makes it the ideal location to take in its beauty. This persists up until clouds in the shape of dollops settle above the lake after passing through the U-shaped valley. Within seconds, the lake is gone from view!

Also popular with them is buying genuine Kashmiri goods at the lake or floating markets. These markets are located near the lake and provide a variety of goods, including handicrafts and saffron.
