Tulian Lake
Tulian Sar
A high-altitude glacial lake at about 3,700 m, reached by roughly 11 km of trekking from Baisaran. Floating ice can still be seen on the surface in summer.
Tulian Lake lies among snow peaks southeast of Pahalgam at about 3,700 m, surrounded by snowy peaks on three sides. Floating ice often covers the lake in early summer. The traditional route climbs through Baisaran Meadow, about 11 km in total, taking 5–6 hours one way. You can ride horses for part of the way. A one-day return trip is quite demanding, so many people choose to camp by the lake. A local guide is required, and the hike is physically demanding. Because Baisaran is currently closed, confirm whether the trekking route is open before you set out.
