Naltar Lakes

A cluster of small, colourful alpine lakes in the upper reaches of Naltar Valley, reachable by jeep track from Gilgit.

Set in the upper reaches of Naltar Valley, the Naltar Lakes are a cluster of small alpine lakes known for their striking, often described as jewel-toned, colouring, which shifts with the light and season. Reaching them typically involves a jeep track further up the valley beyond the main village, adding a bit of an expedition feel to the visit. The lakes are one of the main draws that bring visitors further up the valley beyond its lower meadows.
