In my previous post Road to Heaven I write about the road from Gilgit to Phander valley on this road as I already written that this beautiful road has too much beautiful places we can visit right from the road even we don’t need to to get out of the car , there are two lakes also we can see and enjoy right from the road one is khalti lake I think that it will be better that about Khalti lake I should write separate post.
It was fourth day of my tour we were coming back from *Yasin Valley *as I post Here when we were reached at there was almost 9 p.m. only one hotel was opened and it was heavy rain I was with my kids there, all the hotels were closed due to lock down I saw Lakeside hotel it was on the bank of lake
but I couldn’t see anything towards lake and couldn’t guess how the scene is beautiful so we sleep in the room which were not neat and clean there was no hot water even there were no water in the taps so waiter give us water in a pot for toilet so we can use washrooms this hotel was very cheap almost five Dollars per day for double room so when we got up early in the morning we forget every disappointment the scenes were awesome and very beautiful and it was the best place to view the Khalti lake because the unique factor of this lake was there were a lot of trees which were in the waters of the lake it gave a very beautiful view and the Turquoise blue water of the lake was another attraction
actually it is not a lake it is the flow of river which becomes slows down at this place because the river becomes very vast here and it looks like a lake basically it’s Gilgit river.
In winter this lake gets freeze and last year there was on the surface of freezing khalti lake a football tournament held can you believe on the surface of the lake there was a tournament of football held , if you want to see its video you can see here actually this video is not made by me e i post it here only for reference and the video credit goes to Global Tourist
@Muhammad_Usman Bhai, no doubt this whole region of Gilgit Baltistan is a part of heaven on earth. Every post of you about Gilgit Baltistan always gives me more craving to visit and see by my eyes what you shared.
And InshaAllah one day I will visit this place and will ask you to guide me about accomodations and traveling there.
Thank you so much Usman Bhai for sharing. Your photos and overall post are as usual totally outstanding MashaAllah.
Thanks a lot my dear for your appreciation now come to your question in Arabic we used for moms sister or My aunty so you went translate it translate it as خالہ lake actually it’s not my aunt lake but its name in local language is خلتی which is same as to my aunt it’s only coincidence even in my language Urdu is same word خالہ used for aunty so when you translate it into Arabic my aunt’s lake which is not actually the story. I hope you understand. @_141

yes water is crystal clear because it comes straight from the ko Hindu Khush and trees grows their due to a big part of the year there is no water at that part of the lake so trees grows there is easily @Sophia_Cambodia

Most welcome always @Ant_Bad_Yogi @ I love to swim but unfortunately I don’t know how to swim and do you know it’s water coming directly from the glaciers and temperature of the water is freezing.
Thanks a lot for your loving words and appreciation you always support me such a nice way and I always used to wait for your comments and your opinion @OmarBD
You visit really beautiful and romantic place with breathtaking landscape!
It is interesting for me -what is the temperature in winter!? The people is wearing in light clothes, not warm, but the lake is frozen and the ice is strong.
I like video very much, because the man and small boy are dancing very good. I see such unusual football for the first time!) Thank you for sharing this interesting video and photos.
Thanks a lot my dear @helga19 @ for your such loving long detailed comment, in winters their temperature is almost -10 to - 20 in nights and in days 0 to 5 degree centigrade the boys are dancing traditional dance of hunza which is very famous in all area and everyone can’t stop their feet when they listen The beat of drum.
Did you swim?
