The Tarsar Marsar Lake trek gives you a most memorable glimpse of the breath-taking beauty of Kashmir. In just 4 days you get to experience its scenic meadows, pristine lakes and beautiful valleys – that are so well known throughout the world.

Pahalgam is a small town in the Ananthnag district of Kashmir located on the banks of the Lidder River. It is a well known tourist destination. Just 10 km from Pahalgam is a place called Aru. The drive to Aru has a beautiful view of the Pahalgam valley covered with pine trees.

Aru, also called mini Switzerland, is a tiny village amidst the Himalayan forests and wildlife. Quite a number of treks begin in this region – the most famous ones being the treks to Tarsar and Marsar lakes, Kolahai glacier, Lidderwat and Katrinag valley.

There are many camping sites at the meadows of Aru through which a small stream runs. If you prefer a more comfortable stay before the start of the Tarsar Marsar trek then there are few cottages and guest houses available as well.
