Ratti Gali Lake is an high altitude (3700m) alpine lake situated in Neelum valley of Pakistan. In the summer season, the whole area around this mesmerizing lake becomes a spot of lush green meadows, wild and magnificent flowers and radiant alpine plantations even though in winter this valley is covered with white snow and massive chunks of Glacier floats in the dark blue magical water of Ratti Gali Lake like large swans. In winters lakes remains frozen from November-April. Sunsets ans sunrise over Ratti Gali lake are the most amazing ones.

Getting There

Ratti Gali Lake is accessible from both Dawarian and Noori top, but Dawarian side is usually preffered since it is easy. One can use public Transport to reach Dawarian from Muzaffarabad and get a jeep from there for Ratti Gali Lake.Two hour jeep journey ends at camp site from where it is almost one and a hald hour trek to lake. Best plan would be to leave early from Dawarian and spend more time on lake and then camp at camping site. Remains accessible from July-October; August is the best month to witness the countless species of wild flowers.

K2 & CONCORDIA TREK

K2 & CONCORDIA TREK

In the heart of the Karakorams of northern Pakistan lies an amphitheatre of high mountains, which truly has no parallel. The American climber and photographer Galen Rowell described it as the ‘Throne Room of the Mountain Gods’, and when you stand at the glacial junction known as Concordia and survey the phenomenal array of summits which include four of the world’s 8000 meter peaks, it is difficult to disagree with him.

Explore the Islamabad city visiting Faisal Mosque, Margala Hills, Shaker Pariya, Evening drive to the airport and fly to destination.

In the heart of the Karakorams of northern Pakistan lies an amphitheatre of high mountains, which truly has no parallel. The American climber and photographer Galen Rowell described it as the ‘Throne Room of the Mountain Gods’, and when you stand at the glacial junction known as Concordia and survey the phenomenal array of summits which include four of the world’s 8000 metre peaks, it is difficult to disagree with him.

Our route follows a stunning trail along the mighty Braldu river to the snout of the Baltoro Glacier. The spectacular rock walls of Trango Towers, Lobsang Spires and Uli Biaho stand like monolithic stone sentinels, guarding our route. As we progress up the moraines of the vast Baltoro Glacier, the Muztagh Tower (7273m) and Masherbrum (7821m) slowly reveal themselves and in the distance Gasherbrum IV stands tall, providing a taste of what is to come.

At last, we reach Concordia (4650m) where we are surrounded by a plethora of peaks including four of the world’s 8000m peaks- K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum II and Hidden Peak. And others no less spectacular including the mighty Chogolisa, Golden Throne, and Gasherbrum IV. From our camp at Concordia, we can trek up the Godwin Austen Glacier to K2 Base Camp and visit some of the expedition teams attempting to climb this formidable peak. This trek is undoubtedly one of the Great Walks of the World- the Karakoram's. Although this trek takes us into relatively remote and rough terrain, the walking days are not excessively demanding, and it is well within the capabilities of the regular hill walker wanting to experience wilderness trekking at its finest.
