Allah blessed the Pakistan with lots of natural beauty. You can witness many Beautiful Lakes in Azad Kashmir Neelum Valley to feel nature closer.

The most beautiful and fantastic natural lake of Azad Kashmir surrounded by wild snowcapped mountains. After staying for the night, the first jeep comes out at 6.30 the next day, catch the same so that you get the second jeep in Domel Pine immediately, this jeep change process will also end this year, next year the same jeep will go from Kel to Shounter, the per head fare of a jeep is Rs.3000/-
Since we had left the keel late, we had to wait for two hours for the next Jeep, then we reached the pond at 3 o’clock. In the beginning, the greenery of the track and the fountain coming out of it captivate your heart and you automatically move towards it.
After the first climb starts, the climb angle will be about 35 degrees, when you reach the forest, it gets your bus done, we took 😝 about 2 hours here. But when you look at the waterfall after the climb, all your tiredness goes away and then your first exam begins here.
This is the most vertical and technical climb of the entire track, here children will need special attention, do not leave their hands here at all.

This lake is also known as the Princess Lake of Azad Kashmir. Must visit Lakes in Azad Kashmir with your family and friends.

Poonch, an Azad Kashmir district, is the home of Banjosa Lake, Banjosa. Besides being a beautiful example of an artificial lake, the resort is also known as a popular tourist destination. There are 12 miles between Rawalakot and the lake. Located at an altitude of 1981 meters. There is a dense forest surrounding this man-made lake, which enhances its beauty.

Saral Lake lies at an elevation of 4,100 meters above sea level in Pakistan’s Azad Kashmir Valley. Located about a 70 km drive from Sharda, the lake is accessible by jeep via Gumot National Park and through a hiking trek from there. A second approach is to drive to Naran from Sharda. Walking along the Naran side will also allow one to see the most beautiful lake in the world, the Dudipatsar Lake. Dudipatsar side of the Saral Lake requires crossing the Saral Pass. There is an excellent view of Salal Lake from Noori Top, which connects Pakistan-governed Azad Kashmir to Khanzada province in Pakistan. There is nothing more valuable in nature than a lake.


Shounter Spoon Lake is a scenic lake located in Shounter Valley, a sub-valley of Neelam Valley, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan, at the elevation of 3,100 meters (10,200 ft). The lake is fed by the surrounding mountains glacial waters. The lake is encircled by snow-coated mountains, green grass vegetation, and specimens of Iris Hookeriana are dispersed around the lake. The lake is accessible from Kel town of Neelum Valley, by a jeepable track. Small but very uniquely shaped lake in the middle of snowy gigantic mountains.


To reach here you need a 4×4 and a local guide. A jeep track starts from Babu Sar Top and goes to Ganai Gali via Gittidas. After 50 min to 1-hour jeep ride you reach at Sambaksar Lake. From there it takes an hour of hiking to reach Dharamsar Lake. Actually, it’s quite easy. Take jeep from Basel directly up to Dharamsar Lake in Giltidas. The picture in the main post is Dharamsar Lake. But the picture panorama which I shared in the previous msg (by mistake) is of Sambaksar Lake. From Dharamsar Lake there is 30 to 45-minute trek. Max 1 hour. Preferably take some locals with you as it is Kohistani area. We gave a lift on our jeep to a Kohistani baba ji on the way.
