Reach Aru Village in 3 /4 hours via Pahalgam, to Aru village. The distance between Srinagar and Pahalgam is 100 km and will take 3 hours or so to reach by car.. The journey is laid across the River Lidder and words might fall short when it comes to describing this cute little of a place that lives up to its name. An array of 200 asbestos roofed huts lined perfectly well amidst the lush green meadows, adjacent to the spectacular Lidder, is a sight worth viewing. Overnight stay at rest house/tent.
After breakfast the start trek from Aru to Lidderwat The trail will lead into a cluster of Fir trees and then to a large clearing, Dalla near Gujjar huts. From Dalla, the trail is just a nice, pleasant walk on the plain ground through dense pine forest.. The Lidderwat have surpassing meadows and you can camp other side because there is open space for camping. Spend time exploring this place, Overnight stay will be in tents.
There will be a lot of ascending and then crossing a river in between and some connecting plain terrains.. The track is in a straight line, without much difficulty. After some time, the pine cluster will open up to wide and sweeping grassland intersecting towering mountains, creating a cosy valley, adorned with snow patches here and there. The trail diverts into many small valleys and converges upwards toward the Bhakarwal Shelters by the right side of the river. Further, come across grassland beautiful and wide which leads to two soothing green valleys. Have a look at the meadows and pass through the trail with few Gujjar huts to reach your camping site Shekwas
The day starts from Shekhiwas Meadow and trails through a snake-like path in the grassland for quite some time before it reaches Sumbal leading us through a valley. The lake turns into a magnificent shade of turquoise blue at night, glistening like precious stones in the lap of snow-covered mountains. That is going to be worthy of all the long hiking and walking done in the previous days. Pitch your tents anywhere on the ground. Camp along the snow fed clear bluish lake and get mesmerized by the idyllic setting. Overnight stay in camp
Start descending through the shepherds’ trail which will take you to the middle of the valley.. Surprisingly a wide meadow pops in front with a colorful bed of flowers.

Follow the trail and reach beautiful grassy land of Sundersar Lake, here you can pitch your tents anywhere on the flat ground, camping here is a delight.
