LULUSAR LAKE

   A Hidden Gem in the Northern Mountains of Pakistan




Pakistan is a land of diverse landscapes, from the barren deserts of Balochistan to the snow-capped peaks of the Karakoram range. One such marvel in the northern mountains of Pakistan is the Lulusar Lake, a crystal clear lake situated at an altitude of 3,410 meters above sea level.

The Lulusar Lake is located in the Kaghan Valley of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, surrounded by the towering peaks of the Himalayas. The lake is the source of the Kunhar River, which flows through the valley and provides water to the surrounding areas.

The journey to Lulusar Lake is an adventure in itself, as visitors have to travel through the winding roads of the Kaghan Valley, passing through lush green forests, gushing streams, and breathtaking mountain scenery. The road to the lake is not paved, which adds to the adventure, and visitors are advised to travel in a four-wheel-drive vehicle.

The crystal clear waters of the lake, surrounded by the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas, create a surreal atmosphere that is hard to forget. Visitors can take a stroll around the lake, sit by its banks, and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the surrounding nature.

The best time to visit Lulusar Lake is from June to August, as the weather is pleasant, and the surrounding landscape is in full bloom. Visitors are advised to bring warm clothes, as the temperature drops significantly at night.

Lulusar Lake is not just a beautiful tourist spot; it also has great religious significance. It is believed that a famous Sufi saint, Shah Hussain Bukhari, once prayed at the lake, and his prayer was answered when the lake's water changed from blue to green.

Lulusar Lake is a hidden gem in the northern mountains of Pakistan, a place of breathtaking beauty and religious significance. A visit to the lake is a must for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat amidst nature's splendor. 

The journey to the lake may be challenging, but the experience is rewarding, and the memories will last a lifetime.
