Maldaru Tal Trek
Trip Overview
Maldaru Taal is very sacred to the villagers of Osla. The locals consider it auspicious and worship its waters. However, its location and lovely approach translates it into a beautiful trek for youngsters and seasoned trekkers alike. The approach can be from the Supin valley or from the Tons river valley. The lake waters feed into the Tons river. The final climb to reach the lake is a bit strenuous but the views are rewarding. Along with Ruinsara Taal and Baraadsaar Taal this lake makes up the trio of easily accessible lakes in this region.
Highlights:
- Opportunity to walk through remote mountain villages and experience local culture,
