Satsar Lakes

Satsar Lakes are a group of seven interconnected alpine lakes located at about 3,600 meters altitude near Sonamarg in Ganderbal District, Jammu and Kashmir. Situated along the Kashmir Great Lakes trek route, the lakes are fed by snowmelt and surrounded by alpine meadows and mountains. They are notable for their seasonal accessibility, pristine freshwater, and scenic high-altitude setting between Gadsar and Gangbal lakes.

Visitors can expect seven small interconnected alpine lakes set in a wide meadow surrounded by snow-capped peaks and alpine grasslands. The site is accessible only by trekking from Sonamarg, typically as part of the Kashmir Great Lakes trek. There are no permanent structures or shops at the lakes. Visitors can see clear freshwater lakes, meadows used for camping, grazing areas, and panoramic mountain views. Exploration is on foot over uneven, high-altitude terrain.
