Know before you go

The live package page inspected on 2026-10-09 shows INR 17,000 plus 5% GST per person without a distinct discount. Its headline distance is 48 km, while the quick itinerary stages total 50 km. Headline maximum altitude is 13,500 ft; the Marsar ridge card pairs 4,100 m with 13,100 ft, which are not equivalent, so these are retained as conflicting source estimates rather than corrected survey data. The inclusion section specifies triple-sharing guesthouse accommodation and twin camping. Meals run from Day 1 dinner through Day 7 packed lunch. Srinagar-Aru return transport appears explicitly under exclusions and is optional. The header names TRC Rajbag for pickup/drop with return 18:30-19:30, but the detailed arrival section names Nishat Garden for drop around 18:00: confirm the exact return arrangement. The page recommends arriving a day early and keeping two buffer days. Complete authorized departure inventory was not verified.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

Day 1

Srinagar to Aru Base Camp

Shared guesthouse at Aru, allocation to confirm

For the paid transfer, meet at TRC Rajbag in Srinagar at noon. The package lists a 112 km drive lasting approximately four hours to Aru. Meet the trekking team and settle into the base accommodation. The inclusion section specifies triple-sharing guesthouse lodging; confirm the assigned arrangement.

Dinner
Day 2

Aru to Lidderwat

Twin-sharing tent at Lidderwat

Start the trail from Aru towards Lidderwat. The published stage covers approximately 10 km over 6-7 hours through the river valley and forest/meadow approaches. Finish at the shared campsite and rest before the higher climb.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Day 3

Lidderwat to Shekwas

Twin-sharing tent at Shekwas

Ascend towards Shekwas on the operator's six-kilometre, five-hour stage. The climb reaches open high-altitude meadows after lower forest terrain. Follow the leader's pace and settle into the designated camp for the night.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Day 4

Shekwas to Tarsar

Twin-sharing tent in the Tarsar area

Walk approximately four kilometres over 3-4 hours to the Tarsar basin. The shorter distance still involves a substantial climb to around 12,500 ft. Explore only permitted areas near camp as weather and the leader's assessment allow.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Day 5

Tarsar to Sundarsar

Twin-sharing tent in the Sundarsar area

Leave Tarsar for the crossing towards Sundarsar. The quick itinerary lists six kilometres and approximately five hours. Negotiate the ascent and descent under the guide's direction, then rest at the designated Sundarsar campsite.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Day 6

Marsar Viewpoint and Homwas

Twin-sharing tent at Homwas

Visit the Marsar viewpoint when conditions permit, then descend towards Homwas. The published stage is approximately 11 km and seven hours. The source's 4,100 m/13,100 ft ridge conversion conflicts, so do not rely on it for precise altitude planning; use the operator's 13,500 ft headline when confirming insurance coverage.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Day 7

Homwas to Aru and Optional Srinagar Drive

No overnight stay

Descend approximately 13 km in 6-7 hours to Aru. If booked, continue on the 112 km return drive, listed at four hours. Packed lunch is included, while other transit food and a Srinagar hotel are not. Confirm whether the drop is at TRC Rajbag or Nishat Garden and keep onward travel for the following day.
