Lulusar-Dudipatsar National Park, National park in Kaghan Valley, Pakistan
Lulusar-Dudipatsar is a national park in the Mansehra District that spreads across high mountain terrain with multiple glacial lakes and broad alpine meadows. The landscape transitions from forested slopes to open plateaus, with streams fed by snowmelt carving through the valleys.
The park was established in 2003 to protect the mountain landscapes and lakes of the region. This action emerged from recognition of the need to safeguard the fragile alpine environment from increasing pressures.
Local shepherds and traders pass through these valleys following routes used for generations, and their presence shapes how the landscape is experienced today. The pastoral traditions visible here remain central to the identity of surrounding mountain communities.
The park is primarily accessible during summer months when weather and snow conditions allow travel. Accommodation options range from lodges in nearby towns to basic camping facilities within the park grounds.
The Sat Sari Mala is a system of seven interconnected lakes situated at high elevation that stand out dramatically against the surrounding terrain. These lakes remain hidden under snow for much of the year, making them accessible only during a brief window in summer.
