Tarsar Lake,Jammu and Kashmir,India

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.
