Tarsar Lake Trek
If you think Kashmir is the most beautiful place in the country, then the Tarsar Marsar Trek without any doubt is one of the most attractive treks in the Himalayas.
The trek takes you through a journey to the mesmerising twin lakes of Tarsar and Marsar, which are surrounded by the peaks of the Kolahi Mountain.
The most attractive part of this trek is the contrasting landscape of the place. One day you would witness the water following across the ledges and the next day, you would come across the beautiful grasslands that stretch way beyond into the horizon.

The Valley Of Flowers Trek
One amongst the most popular monsoon treks in the country is the Valley of Flowers trek. The core area of the trek is located in the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve which gives you wondrous vistas of snow-covered mountains and an unmatched natural beauty.
The valley is home to about 300 odd different varieties of alpine flowers that also include some very rare ones. It said that the flowers change their colours every week, which means they'd change from being red on one day, and in the next, they turn pink and later yellow and so on.
