About Tulian Lake Trek
The Tulian Lake Trek, also known as the Hidden Lake Trek is a complete package of trekking as it lies in the Himalayan ranges offering giant snow-capped mountains, huge green meadows, dense and diverse forests and the main course i.e. The Tulian Lake itself. Unlike other treks like the Kashmir Great seven Lakes, the Bodhpatri Trek and the Nafran Valley Trek which have gained a lot of fame over the past years, yet this gorgeous trek is very underrated for the scenery and adventure it offers. Not to mention, it is even ahead of these treks as it offers diverse flora like the pine , chir, fir and spruce trees. While trekking you will feel like trekking in Europe as the vegetation is much similar to European then Kashmiri. Now, talking about the main attraction of this trek i.e. the Tulian Lake Trek , a lake which is very vast and sets it height at 12,000 ft. It has little icebergs embedded in it like dry fruits on a pudding which further adds to it’s beauty and charm. This lake stretches for a kilometer with humongous Snow-Covered mountains at a height of 15,000 ft, a view for which you are ready to see with bare eyes. Trekking experts covers this whole trek in just one to two days, but if preferrable to do this at a slow pace to enjoy each and every aspect of this unique trek. The Tulian Lake is accessible for a longer period than the rest of the treks.
