Tarsar Lake is an almond-shaped, oligotrophic alpine lake situated in the
Kashmir Valley, specifically in Aru, Anantnag district, Jammu
and Kashmir, India.
The lake is separated by a mountain forming
another lake of the same nature known as Marsar Lake, which is in the
vicinity of Dachigam National Park. Together these two lakes are referred
to as the Twin Sisters.
Tarsar Lake is dominated by the peaks of the Kolahoi
mountain massif some 20 km to the east. Nestled at an elevation of 3795 meters,
the lake is eye-catching and measures 2 km in length and around 0.8 km in
width.
The lake is separated by a mountain with a minimum peak
elevation of 4,000 metres (13,000 ft) from another lake known as Marsar
Lake.
The Tarsar Lake is drained by an outlet stream which falls
into the Lidder River at Lidderwat, 15 km to the east. The Marsar
Lake on the other hand drains out and flows in the opposite direction of the
Tarsar Lake.
Tarsar Lake is one of the beautiful tourist places to visit
in Pahalgam. Tarsar Marsar Lake is accessible only during the summer. In
winter, the treks are closed because of the heavy snowfall.
