Among the alpine lakes dotting Aru Valley, Marsar Lake is a
beautiful alpine water body full of scenic natural beauty. The lake is located
at a distance of about 5 km from Nagberan village. Marsar Lake along with
Tarsar Lake forms a challenging trekking trail that adds another feature to the
adventure of Jammu and Kashmir tourism.
The lake is separated by a mountain with a minimum
peak elevation of 4,000 metres (13,000 ft) from another lake of the same
nature known as Tarsar Lake. Due to their close proximity and similar
physical characteristics, the two lakes are often called as the twin
sisters.
A steep walk alongside the Tarsar Lake will lead you to the
Marsar Lake. Here we will enjoy watching the nature and listening to the
melodious chirping of birds.
The Marsar Lake offers tourists a glimpse of the stunning
beauty of Kashmir. The traveler gets the opportunity to experience its scenic
knolls, unspoilt lakes and aesthetic valleys that are famous across the
world.
The best time to plan this place is in summers. However,
July – September is also a great time to plan it. The summers are very pleasant
here and you can see a lot of unique birds and regional animals around. The
most famous sights seen at the Tarsar Marsar are the brown bear, musk deer,
golden eagles,bar-headed geese, and choughs.
