Lulusar Lake: Beautiful Lake of Pakistan

Water is a basic human need. Nature has preserved water reserves in the form of rivers, streams, waterfalls, seas, lakes and glaciers. If we talk about lakes, at present there are more than 3 million lakes in the world which are notable for their beauty.

But the Lake we are talking about here is one of the few spectacular, beautiful and mesmerizing lakes of Pakistan. Lake Lulusar is one that fascinates the tourists.

Let's know about this enchanting Lake of Pakistan.

Where is Lake Lulusar located?

Lake Lulusar is located in Kaghan Valley of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. Lulusar is actually the name of a collection of high hills and a lake.

Lulusar Lake is located 350 kilometers away from Mansehra, located at an altitude of 3353 meters on Naran Chalas Road.

Lulusar Lake is an hour's drive from town of Naran on the border of Kaghan Valley and Kohistan. Birders and tourists from Russia visit this lake in large numbers every year.

Lulusar Lake is the longest lake in Naran Kaghan. The distance from Lulusar Lake to Basel is 2 km. The lake is 11,200 feet above sea level and has a length of about 3 km.

Why this Lake is called Lulusar?

Lulusar is a word of Shina language, Lulu means red and Sar means lake. Lulusar is a deep and mysterious lake. Its color is deep emerald which sometimes appears blackish. An eerie and awe-inspiring silence hangs there all the times.

The snowy mountains and green leaves floating on transparent water present a scene that mesmerizes the viewer.

Tourists visiting Naran must visit Lulusar Lake which is the major source of water in raging Kunhar River. The water of lake is clear as glass. The reflection of snow-capped hills of Lulusar in clear water of the lake captivates the hearts of visitors. It is a remarkable sight.

Mysterious Story of Lulusar Lake

Local people say that this is the historical lake where fairies used to come and bathe during daylight. But now due to rush of people and running roads, the fairies have stopped coming during the day. Maybe they come at night now.

In ancient days, the fairies used to come to Lulusar Lake during the day, but now they probably come to a lake located at end corner of Gatidas.

Lulusar Lake and Dudipatsar

These are two beautiful lakes in the valley at a distance of 34 km from Batkundi. Since the route is difficult, few tourists come here. However, not every beautiful place is for everyone.

For those who show determination and courage, Allah has kept some valleys away from the highway. This 3-km long Lulusar Lake is the source of Kunhar River.

A jeep comes here, while one has to trek for 5-6 hours to reach Dudipatsar Lake. This road passes through Naran and joins Chilas on the Karakoram Highway via Babusar Top. From Babusar Top, a magnificent view of Nanga Parbat and several high peaks is possible.

Plan a trip to Kaghan Valley this summer vacation. This trip will always be fresh in your memories.
