We designed a perfect trek for those who love this area and keep going there whenever they are free. However, this trek is also good for both beginners and experienced ones, as it is not hard. A sure delight to the eyes would be the Jammu and Kashmir panorama that your trip will offer. Along this walk, you will be amazed at the vibrant nature of those bluish alpine lakes.
You may search for Himalayan brown bears in the reserve if it is close to the end of your trekking trip. The Tarsar Marsar Trek takes you through deep valleys that consist of blue lagoons, teeming water rivers carrying snow, big old trees, different forms of vegetation, snowy peaks, and waterfalls of different sizes and shapes.
Shemali and Sundar Sar even have the same shape. Shemali looks like an almond, while Sundar Sar looks exactly like a crescent. Tarsar Lake, located in the shadow of the breathtaking panorama of Alpine meadow blossoms, is a natural jewel that has even to be severed from the body.
