About

The Tarsar Marsar Trek is a gem among Kashmir’s numerous treks, renowned for its captivating beauty. This trek encompasses three exquisite alpine lakes, expansive verdant meadows, majestic mountains, and the serene Lidder River, offering campers the unique opportunity to camp by the mesmerizing Tarsar Lake and witness the spectacular views from the Marsar Lake Ridge. Ideal for beginners, the trek spans 7 days, including a day dedicated to acclimatization at Aru, and is optimally undertaken from June to October.

Originating in the serene Aru Valley, located 112 km from Srinagar and near the famous Kolahoi Glacier, the trek stretches over 48 km, featuring a blend of uphill and downhill paths. The trek’s highlights include the Tarsar and Marsar Lakes, two of Kashmir’s largest alpine lakes, known for their breathtaking beauty. The campsite at Tarsar Lake is positioned right by the lake, providing campers with a splendid view directly from their tents and the chance to explore the lake’s surroundings in the evening.

Spanning 7 days, with one day allocated for acclimatization at Aru Valley, the trek navigates through Kashmir’s diverse landscapes over 6 days of walking, showcasing the region’s unparalleled natural splendor. This trek is highly recommended for those new to trekking, promising an unforgettable adventure.

Highlights of Warwan Valley Trek

This journey is celebrated for its trio of mesmerizing alpine lakes, with lakeside camping at Tarsar being a pinnacle experience. The enormity of Marsar Lake and the moon-like appearance of Sundarsar Lake enhance the trek’s allure.

Describing this path as a journey through meadows would be apt, given the picturesque, undulating meadows that accompany the river streams for much of the trek. These verdant expanses, lightly dotted with shepherds and their herds, offer a tranquil backdrop for your hike. The camping spots on this trek are notably more spacious than those found on other routes, allowing trekkers to immerse themselves in nature’s tranquility. Notably, one of your nights will be spent next to the captivating Tarsar Lake, with additional camps at Lidderwat, Sekiwas, and Homwas set by the soothing sounds of river streams. Dubbed a sanctuary for beginners, the Tarsar Marsar Trek stands out as one of the premier entry-level treks in India, thanks to its pristine and accessible terrain. Perfect for those new to hiking, it provides a gentle introduction without the challenges of steep ascents, dangerous wildlife, or confusing trails. Essentially, the Tarsar Marsar Trek promises a rewarding and serene outdoor adventure, making it a commendable effort for those seeking to experience the tranquility of nature.

Best Time For Tarsar Marsar Trek

One of the common questions we receive is about the optimal season for embarking on the Tarsar Marsar Trek. The ideal period spans from June to October. During June, expect to witness snowy landscapes, especially in the higher regions, with the lakes partially frozen, showcasing floating icebergs.

As the season progresses from July through September, the snow recedes, unveiling lush greenery and the vibrant summer vista of the area. October brings a fresh perspective with the likelihood of early snowfall, adding a pristine white layer to the trek’s trails. May might offer accessibility, depending on the severity of the winter snow.

During the winter months, the trek is usually closed due to significant snowfall, making the paths inaccessible and covering the landscape in a thick blanket of snow.

How Difficult Is Tarsar Marsar Trek?

It is an easy to moderate trek. Compared to other treks in Kashmir, this trek is easy and equally breathtaking. The trail is mostly flat and through meadows. There is a boulder section and river crossings on some occasions. There is a jungle walk too, but most of the trail has a meadow walk. This trek is best recommended for beginners.

How To Reach The Base Camp

For those planning to embark on the Tarsar Marsar trek, the journey begins at Aru village, the base camp nestled in Kashmir. Located approximately 110 km from Srinagar, reaching Aru is straightforward with Johansen Travels providing shared cab options from Srinagar, a trip that typically spans 3 to 4 hours.

For air travelers, Srinagar Airport offers flights connecting from various states across India, with flights from New Delhi being the most direct route.

Train access directly into Kashmir is not available, but Jammu serves as the nearest railway hub, linking to major cities across India. From Jammu, one can find frequent bus or cab services to Srinagar, thanks to the NH1 highway that ensures smooth connectivity. Once in Srinagar, you can utilize taxi services to make your way to Aru, setting the stage for your trekking adventure with a scenic drive lasting about 3 to 4 hours.
