At Escape2explore, we’re committed to providing a memorable and safe trekking experience in the majestic Himalayas. The terrain and weather in the Himalayas can be unpredictable, so please follow these essential do’s and don’ts to ensure a successful and enjoyable trek.
Do’s:
Listen to Your Guide: Our professional guides are experts in Himalayan trekking. Always follow their instructions and trust their judgment, especially in tricky or high-altitude areas.
Acclimatize Properly: The Himalayas mean high altitudes, which require proper acclimatization. We’ll ensure a gradual ascent, but it’s crucial to take things slow and follow the itinerary to avoid altitude sickness. Drink plenty of water and rest when needed.
Wear the Right Gear: The Himalayas can be cold, even in summer. Wear layered clothing, including thermal wear, waterproof jackets, and sturdy, insulated trekking boots with good grip. Bring a hat and gloves to protect yourself from cold winds.
Hydrate and Eat Well: Dehydration happens faster at high altitudes. Keep sipping water throughout the trek and eat enough food to maintain your energy. Our team will provide regular breaks to recharge.
Use Trekking Poles: Himalayan trails can be steep and uneven, so using trekking poles can greatly reduce the strain on your knees and help you maintain balance.
Respect Local Culture: The Himalayan region is home to diverse local communities with rich cultural traditions. Respect the customs, interact politely with locals, and follow any guidelines provided by your guide.
Carry Essential Items: Bring items like sunscreen (even in the snow!), lip balm, sunglasses, and a first-aid kit with altitude sickness medication. It’s better to be prepared for the high-altitude sun and cold winds
Be Environmentally Conscious: The Himalayas are pristine and need our care. Follow the ‘Leave No Trace’ policy by carrying back all waste, respecting wildlife, and leaving nature undisturbed.
Don’ts:
Don’t Ignore Altitude Sickness Symptoms: If you feel dizzy, have headaches, or feel nauseous, inform your guide immediately. Ignoring these signs can lead to serious health issues. We can adjust the pace or descent if needed.
Don’t Rush or Overexert Yourself: The key to trekking in the Himalayas is steady progress. Don’t rush ahead, as it can strain your body at high altitudes. Take breaks when needed and walk at a pace that’s comfortable for you.
Don’t Pack Unnecessary Items: Light backpacks make for easier treks. We’ll help you with a packing list, so don’t bring heavy or non-essential items that will weigh you down on steep climbs.
Avoid Trekking in Dangerous Weather: The Himalayan weather can change rapidly. We monitor conditions closely, but if your guide suggests delaying the trek due to rain, snow, or windstorms, trust their decision.
Don’t Wander Off Alone: The vast Himalayan landscape can be disorienting. Always stick with the group, and let your guide know if you need to stop or take a break. Avoid exploring unfamiliar areas on your own.
Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Consuming alcohol or smoking can worsen the effects of altitude sickness and lower your stamina. It’s best to avoid them before and during the trek for your safety and well-being.
Don’t Harm the Environment: Avoid littering or causing damage to the natural surroundings. The Himalayas are fragile, so we ask you to be mindful and carry back any waste to designated disposal areas.

Tulian Lake is a stunning high-altitude lake in Jammu & Kashmir, nestled between the Pir Panjal and Zanskar ranges. It sits at approximately 12,100 feet, surrounded by snow-capped peaks. The lake is known for its unique turquoise-blue waters, reflecting the towering mountains, making it a breathtaking destination for nature lovers.
Tulian Lake stands out because of its almost perfectly circular shape and the way it remains surrounded by snow patches throughout the year. Unlike other lakes, Tulian’s location provides a rare combination of lush green meadows, rocky landscapes, and towering peaks, offering a diverse and captivating natural experience.
Tulian Lake is about 16 km from Pahalgam, a popular tourist destination in Kashmir. The journey begins from Baisaran, a beautiful meadow often called “Mini Switzerland.” The route is a mix of dense forests, rocky inclines, and open grasslands, providing ever-changing scenery throughout the trek.
The best time to visit Tulian Lake is from June to September. During this period, the meadows are in full bloom, the trails are free of heavy snow, and the weather remains pleasant. Post-monsoon, the skies are clearer, offering stunning reflections of the surrounding peaks in the lake’s crystal-clear waters.
Winter visits are not recommended as the lake remains frozen, and the trails are covered with thick snow, making the journey extremely challenging. The temperatures can drop significantly, and the harsh weather conditions make access difficult. However, for extreme adventure seekers, guided winter treks with proper gear may be possible.
Tulian Lake is not accessible by road. The only way to reach it is through a trek from Pahalgam, passing via Baisaran and Sheeshnag. The route involves steep ascents and rugged terrains. For those who want to avoid trekking, pony rides can be arranged up to a certain point.
The region around Tulian Lake is home to various wildlife species, including Himalayan marmots, brown bears (at higher elevations), and musk deer. The area is also rich in birdlife, with golden eagles, Himalayan griffons, and monals often spotted soaring in the sky.
Locals believe that Tulian Lake holds spiritual significance and that its waters remain untouched and pure. Some legends say that the lake’s circular shape symbolizes eternity, while others believe that the water has healing properties. Many shepherds also consider it a sacred place and avoid polluting it.
Yes, camping near Tulian Lake is possible and highly recommended. The best spot to camp is in the meadows just before reaching the lake, as the area near the water can be rocky. Nighttime at Tulian is magical, with clear skies full of stars and the peaceful sound of mountain winds.
Temperatures at Tulian Lake can drop significantly, even in summer. During the day, it ranges between 10-15°C, but at night, it can go as low as 0-5°C. In early or late-season visits, temperatures may dip below freezing, so proper layering and warm clothing are essential.
The trek takes you through a variety of landscapes, starting with dense pine forests, followed by rolling meadows at Baisaran, rocky ascents, and glacier-fed streams. As you approach Tulian Lake, the terrain becomes more rugged with large boulders, giving way to breathtaking alpine beauty.
Yes, you can join the trek to Tulian Lake. The trip’s difficulty level is moderate and can be attained without someone’s support. Wear robust footwear, and comfortable clothes, and maintain basic fitness to complete the trek.
