Dachigam Marsar Trek

INTRODUCTION

The Dachigam-Marsar-Trek expedition aims to traverse two valleys. Starting from Sumbal the trek goes through Marsar Lake and enters the Dachigam National Park. The Park is a wildlife sanctuary of Kashmir which holds the last viable species of brown deer Kashmir Hangul (Stag). The trek crosses streams, plenty of colorful meadows under the snow-clad mountains.

Though trekking in Kashmir is not the newest but still this expedition is no walk in the park. Arduous days, steep and rocky passes, and altitudes approaching 4200m all collide to create a challenging trek in one of the most beautiful and serene Himalayas of Kashmir.

WHILE PLANNING YOUR TREK, AS A BEGINNER KEEP THE FOLLOWING POINTS IN CONSIDERATION:-
you feel fit enough to trek for hours.
you walk two or three kilometers daily.
you don’t have any breathing problems.
you are not scared of heights.
