Karambar Lake, Lake in Ghizer District, Pakistan
Karambar Lake is a lake in Ghizer District, Pakistan. It sits high in the mountains, surrounded by rocky slopes and patches of snow that last into summer.
The lake formed long ago when glaciers carved the valley and left a basin that filled with meltwater. For centuries, it has been a stop for travelers crossing the mountains between valleys.
Local herders bring their animals to the meadows near the water in summer. You might see them moving along the shore, following routes their families have used for generations.
The lake is far from towns, so plan a full day or an overnight stay. Bring warm clothes and sturdy shoes, as the ground is uneven and the air is cold.
The water is so clear that you can see stones on the bottom near the edge. Even in summer, small ice pieces sometimes float near the shore in the morning.
