Saif ul malook
No trip to Kaghan Valley is complete without a visit to the legendary Lake Saiful Muluk. The lake is named after prince Sauful Muluk, who fell in love with a fairy from the mountains.
Lake Saiful Muluk is a lake located at the northern end of the Kaghan Valley near Naran. It is in the north east of Mansehra District in the North-West Frontier Province, Pakistan. At an altitude of 3,224 m (10,578 feet) above sea level it is amongst one of the highest lakes in Pakistan.
The lake is accessible by a 14 km road from Naran (which is accessible by a road from Mansehra via Balakot and Kaghan) during the summer months. On foot, the trek from Naran to the lake takes about 4-6 hours.This option is only for those who are fit enough to climb about 3000 feet in eight kilometers. A jeep can be rented in the bazaar and driven up in one hour.The water is clear with a slight green tone. The clarity of the water comes from the multiple glaciers all around the high basin which feed the lake.The weather here is moderate during day time while the temperature drops to minus degrees at night.
