After passing through pine forests and a few intermittent clearings we'll reach wide-sweeping grasslands that are formed from the merger of the many valleys that converge here. The trail climbs swiftly past a couple of Gujjar huts to the camping grounds of Sekhwas. Camp for the night at Sekhwas.
It's a mild climb to Tarsar through tall grasses, a couple of ridges and eventually to the shore of the lake. Tarsar Lake is 5 km above Sekhwas and takes 4 hours with an altitude gain of 518 meters.
