We often heard this question from first time trekkers.

Which is the perfect trek to start our himalayan trekking ??

Tarsar marsar trek is one of the most appropriate one.

The pristine & divine , surreal natural beauty of Kashmir has earned the title of “Paradise on Earth” for a reason. All the pictures & videos which you had seen so far cannot do justice when you come to Kashmir for the first time you will realise you can be awestruck with its beauty. Featuring lush green meadows and snow-capped mountains, the valley of Kashmir always captivates the mind and soul of travellers with its splendour.

The name Kashmir derives from the ancient sage name as Kashyapa Mira. It is ornamented with alpine meadows, stunning river stream, gushing waterfalls, dense forests of Deodar, pine and oak, and crystal-clear glaciers. 

From the past one decade now  Kashmir has become famous for its numerous treks – most notably, the Tarsar Marsar Trek. It can be a perfect trek for anyone who wants to start their Himalayan trekking as it is doable and offers challenges too which can be negotiated through proper guidance on the trails by our team of experts. 

Kashmir attracts lakhs of travellers  throughout the year especially in summer. It brings the trekkers and adventure lovers one step closer to heaven on Earth.

The Tarsar marsar trek is one of those treks in India where dreams of adventure seekers become true. During the trek you  will encounter a glimpse of a pastoral-agricultural ethnic group called Gujjar. The Dachigam National Park is situated in this region of Marsar Lake.

Surrounded by the peaks of the Kolahi Mountain, the Tarsar Marsar trek takes you to a height of 13,450 feet. Both the lake are in almond like shape and flow opposite in direction to each other

The one thing that makes this trek special is its awe-inspiring exquisiteness and tranquillity.
