Naltar Valley

Pine forests and lakes in impossible colours.

Naltar Valley

An hour’s jeep ride from Gilgit, Naltar feels a world away: tall pines, wooden villages and a chain of lakes whose colours change through the day.

In winter it becomes Pakistan’s best-known ski area; in summer it is a gentle, family-friendly escape.

Highlights

  • Satrangi and Blue lakes
  • Walks through Naltar’s pine forest
  • Picnics by the river
  • Winter skiing at the Naltar slopes

Travel tips

  • The last stretch needs a local jeep; cars stop in Naltar Bala.
  • Mornings are calm and best for lake reflections.
