Tarsar Marsar is one of the most underrated treks in India. It is easier than the Kashmir Great Lakes trek, but perhaps even more beautiful. The biggest bonus of this trek is that you not only visit three huge alpine lakes, you also camp on the grassy shores of two of them. All along, you trek through lush, green meadows bedecked with wildflowers.

The valley of Kashmir is an experience that may rob the most masterful wordsmith off adjectives, but never fail to brew unceasing lyricism in the heart of her beholders. Kashmir’s inherent classical romanticism aside, there are some things exclusively special to trekking and the Tarsar Marsar twin lakes trek brings all of them together.

Grasslands like velvet, walking through hovering pine trees that are beautiful and fragrant, little thatched roofed hamlets peopled by beautiful humans, perfect stillness of azure waters, and camping by the glacial lakes which give the trek its name.
