Borith lake Gojal (upper Hunza)

Introduction:


Borith Lake is one of the highest lakes housed within Pakistan’s mountainous Gilgit Baltistan, is surrounded by a landscape of the world’s greatest mountains, largest glaciers, meadows and wetlands. It is an oval shaped glacial fed lake without an outlet. The expansion and contraction of the nearby Ghulkin and Passu Glaciers causes considerable fluctuation in its water levels. Silence and solitude provide a subtle beauty to the lake. Borith is a paradise for tourists, trekkers and nature lovers with a view of the awesome Ultar peak at 6,735 meters and Borit Sar. Borith Lake is home to thousands of migratory birds, the come to sojourn here during the spring and autumn migratory season. These birds are not only a beautiful spectacle to observe, but also an educational and recreational resource. The migratory species can be spotted in the area from February to June and September to November. From Upper Borith you can see the spectacle view of Passu glacier and village.
