Tarsar Marsar Trek

Tarsar Marsar Trek

The Tarsar Marsar Trek is often called the crown jewel of Kashmir treks, thanks to its stunning alpine lakes, lush green valleys, and endless meadows of flowers. Unlike the famous Kashmir Great Lakes trek, this one offers a more intimate experience, especially with its campsites right beside the lakes. At Lap of Nature, we make your journey stress-free – and if you couldn’t complete the trek, you can repeat it without paying the trek fee again.
