Naltar (kuti) Lake

Introduction:

Naltar (kuti) Lake about 12 kilometers. This takes four hours if you walk all the way, or one hour by jeep. From Bangla to Naltar Lake you pass through more forest and see more Gujar settlements. The first lake is startlingly green pond about 200 meters in diameter, surrounded by birch, ash and pine trees. The water is still and clear, its color rising from bright green algae on the bottom. There are two more lakes, one a Brilliant Cobalt blue and the other Turquoise at a higher level about ten minutes to the west. It is very stony round the edge of these lakes, with no obvious campsite. A fourth larger lake is still higher, about 40 minutes away to the west.
