Good things are worth waiting for...
Kashmir might seem distant from Bangalore, but when you are trekking with Plan The Unplanned, no gorgeous destination is too far. Even if you are someone who is travelling that far up north for the first time, there is nothing to worry about. Not only will we chart out the entire trip, we will also help you with what you need to carry and such.
But let’s first take a look at all that you will get to experience on the Tarsar Marsar lake trek:
Kashmir is known for its pristine beauty, but what you get to experience off the beaten path is a gloriousness that is unparalleled. Trek and camp with Plan The Unplanned for a journey that will find a place in your fondest memories.
The adventure begins in Srinagar and we drive to Aru Valley located at 8,000 ft. above sea level. A 3.5 hours drive shows off beautiful views, providing us with a peek at the rivers Jhelum and Lidder- crystal clear flowing water that we are about to see even more closely in the few days to come.
When in Aru give time to acclimatise. Give your legs a stretch, feel the cool mountain air, take several clicks of pictures and bathe in the environment. Today is your day to adjust to the new surroundings and also wind down, and prepare yourself for the journey ahead.

In the event of severe weather or other safety concerns, we may shorten a trek day or abandon the trek entirely. No refunds will be issued in such circumstances, as your safety is our top priority.
If we cancel a trek due to natural disasters (such as rainstorm, flood, landslide, earthquake) or unanticipated political disturbances (such as curfews, local riots, government orders, forest department directives), Plan The Unplanned will issue a voucher for the full value of your ticket. Please note that payment gateway charges will be deducted from this refund.
If we cancel a trek due to insufficient reservations or lack of participants for a specific batch, a refund of 96% of the trek money will be issued. Please note that payment gateway charges will be deducted from this refund.
To ensure everyone has a great time and knows what to expect, please read these important points:
For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, please don’t consume alcohol, intoxicants, or smoke at any point during the journey or trek.
Kindly complete your dinner before you board the bus.
We’ll arrange transportation based on our group size. If there are 12 or fewer of us, we’ll use a tempo traveler. For groups of 13 or more, it’ll be a mini-bus. Both options are non-AC and have push-back seats for your comfort. We appreciate your understanding regarding our travel logistics.
If you prefer to arrange your own transportation to the destination (the homestay), be sure to book the “Without Travel” option when you sign up. Please note: If you select this, you’ll need a private car for your entire trip. Public transport won’t work, as our Day 2 activities begin directly from the homestay and require continuous private car access to ensure you can fully participate in all planned activities.
Our trips are about getting out into nature, often in remote locations. Please don’t expect luxury accommodations; we focus on providing comfortable basic facilities.
We’ll provide basic, vegetarian meals. We do not serve non-vegetarian food.
Please help us keep our beautiful outdoors clean by disposing of all litter properly.
You are responsible for your personal belongings, valuables, and jewelry. Plan The Unplanned is not liable for any lost items.
While we strive to be on schedule, please be aware that traffic delays or vehicle breakdowns can sometimes occur, leading to slight delays in reaching our destination.
You’ll get an event heads-up email by Thursday of the trip week. It includes:

Mountains that look like they have stepped out of a portrait.
Lakes that are brought to life by pure melting snow.
Valleys that look like a green carpet dotted with the most exotic-coloured flowers.
A constant scent in the air that pulls you towards it.
Do you really need anything more to break that monotony of your daily life? Perhaps some new friends and an adventure that will stay with you for a long time.
Presenting the Tarsar Marsar trek – the kind of trek that you might want to repeat, simply because you want to experience the sheer beauty of Kashmir.
Nestled in the heart of Kashmir, the Tarsar and Marsar lakes are the kind of places you might see in your happiest dreams. When the sun shines, the water twinkles and when the clouds descend, the lake disappears under a shroud.
At Plan The Unplanned, we don’t do random trips – we do treks that might challenge your body, but will certainly rejuvenate your mind. This alpine trek would be a change of scenery, as well as a change of mind for you, Bangaloreans!
