Royal Adventure Pahalguam – Thrill, Fun & Nature in the Heart of Kashmir
Tarsar Lake Trek – By Royal Adventure, Pahalgam
Embark on an unforgettable journey with Royal Adventure to the stunning Tarsar Lake (also known as Tar Sar), an almond-shaped, crystal-clear alpine lake in the Anantnag district of Jammu & Kashmir. Surrounded by breathtaking meadows and snow-clad peaks, this oligotrophic high-altitude lake lies near Dachigam National Park to the west and the charming town of Tral to the south.
The shortest trekking route to Tarsar Lake begins from Surfraw, Ganderbal, though it involves challenging and adventurous terrain. For those seeking a more scenic approach, alternate routes from Lidderwat and the Nagaberan forest area in South Kashmir offer equally mesmerizing landscapes.
Tarsar Marsar is arguably the prettiest trek in India. This is a title we do not give treks lightly. Especially when its formidable sister trek, Kashmir Great Lakes, is in the picture. However, Tarsar Marsar is a trek where alpine lakes take a life of their own. It is not just the fact that you get to camp beside these royal blue, snow-fed lakes (you don’t get this camping chance even at KGL). Or the secluded nature of these campsites (a Godsend in today’s trekking scenario!).
At Royal Adventure, we organize safe, well-planned treks with experienced guides, quality camping equipment, and a focus on making your Tarsar Lake expedition both thrilling and comfortable. Whether you are an avid trekker or a nature enthusiast, this trek promises serene lakeside camping, vibrant alpine flora, and panoramic Himalayan views.
