Mountains that look like they have stepped out of a portrait. Lakes that are brought to life by pure melting snow. Valleys that look like a green carpet dotted with the most exotic-coloured flowers. A constant scent in the air that pulls you towards it. Do you really need anything more to break that monotony of your daily life? Perhaps some new friends and an adventure that will stay with you for a long time. Presenting the Tarsar Marsar trek – the kind of trek that you might want to repeat, simply because you want to experience the sheer beauty of Kashmir. Nestled in the heart of Kashmir, the Tarsar and Marsar lakes are the kind of places you might see in your happiest dreams. When the sun shines, the water twinkles and when the clouds descend, the lake disappears under a shroud. At Plan The Unplanned, we don’t do random trips – we do treks that might challenge your body, but will certainly rejuvenate your mind. This alpine trek would be a change of scenery, as well as a change of mind for you, Bangaloreans! Trek highlights Kashmir might seem distant from Bangalore, but when you are trekking with Plan The Unplanned, no gorgeous destination is too far. Even if you are someone who is travelling that far up north for the first time, there is nothing to worry about. Not only will we chart out the entire trip, we will also help you with what you need to carry and such. But let’s first take a look at all that you will get to experience on the Tarsar Marsar lake trek: • From Srinagar, you will first head to charming Aru, which is where you will acclimatise and start building acquaintances • On the first leg of the journey, you will pass the Lidder and the legendary Jhelum rivers • Get your cameras ready, because there is simply so much to capture • On day 2, we set out from Aru to Lidderwat, which is where we will set up camp • Settle down within a dream, because you will have the Lidder river on one side and the Kolahoi Glacier on the other • Homwas to Shekwas will take you across streams and deep valleys as well as expansive fields • The mild ascent to Sundarsar lake is one that will take your breath away – from gorgeous grasslands to a mirror-like lake and wild horses • The ascent to Marsar lake and then the descent to Homwas will challenge you, but reward you with scenic beauty beyond compare Kashmir is known for its pristine beauty, but what you get to experience off the beaten path is a gloriousness that is unparalleled. Trek and camp with Plan The Unplanned for a journey that will find a place in your fondest memories.
