Nature at its best. It was a quiet place a few years back but now all the fuss of pollution and overcrowding exist. Huge no of jeeps / vans are parked at the front of the lake. Lot of littering. It’s such a pity to watch how we are destroying a gem.

An adventurous experience with the jeep ride to Saif ul Maluk. The way from Naran to the lake is hilly, rough and tough where you must have to travel by 4*4 jeep. The lake view is beautiful and you will feel cold even in june.

This lake is very serene and its water is emerald green. A small quantity of the snow was seen even in May. The weather was very pleasant and one feels cold there. The lake is surrounded by seven majestic Mountains. However, there were no proper or reasonable seating arrangements for tourists. There were two beautiful small buildings very close to the lake. There were few shops and restaurants but everything needs proper arrangement to increase the beauty of the lake instead of making it ugly. The Saif-ul-Maluk lake is approximately 45 minutes away from Naran city. It is recommended to hire a Jeep for travel instead of self-drive. In many places, the way is created by cutting snow. It is not easy for the urban or plan area person to drive in such mountainous areas. The road from Naran to the lake is in very bad condition. There is a dire need to repair this road to make the journey of tourists enjoyable and easy.

Adorable ❤️

Unbelievable place. Real natural beauty of Pakistan Saif ul maluk lake. Highly recommended for international and national tourist. If you want to make your time so special so visit this place and enjoy natural beauty awesome view of lake. Best for photography picnic and any type of event..

Outstanding view. Awesome area. Saiful Muluk is a mountainous lake located at the northern end of the Kaghan Valley, near the town of Naran in the Saiful Muluk National Park. At an elevation of 3,224 m (10,578 feet) above sea level, the lake is located above the tree line, and is one of the highest lakes in Pakistan. Saiful Muluk is located in the Mansehra district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) north of Naran, in the northern part of Kaghan Valley. Malika Parbat, the highest peak in the valley is near the lake. The lake is accessible from the nearby town of Naran during the summer season but access during winter is limited, as heavy snowfall and landslides threaten to cutoff the lake from other regions. Saiful Muluk was formed by glacial moraines that blocked the water of the stream passing through the valley. The Kaghan Valley was formed in the greater Pleistocene Period dating back almost 300,000 years when the area was covered with ice. Rising temperatures and receding glaciers left a large depression where glaciers once stood. Melting water collected into the lake. The lake has rich eco-diversity and holds many species of blue-green algae. Large brown trout are found in the lake, up to about seven kilograms. About 26 species of vascular plant exist in the area, with Asteraceae the most commonly found species. Other species commonly found in the region are: Ranunculaceae, Compositae, Cruciferae, Gramineae, Apiaceae, Leguminosae, Scrophulariaceae and Polygonaceae. The Lake Saiful Muluk is named after a legendary prince. A fairy tale called Saif-ul-Muluk, written by the Sufi poet Mian Muhammad Bakhsh, talks of the lake. It tells the story of the prince of Persia named Prince Saiful Malook who fell in love with a fairy princess named Princess Badri-ul-Jamala at the lake. 👉Location Saiful Muluk National Park Kaghan Valley Coordinates 34.876957°N 73.694485°E Lake type Alpine, glacial lake Primary inflows Glacial water Primary outflows Stream (a tributary of Kunhar River) Basin countries Pakistan Surface area 2.75 km2 (1.06 sq mi) Max. depth 113 ft (34 m) Surface elevation 3,224 metres (10,577 ft)[1] Settlements Naran

Lake Saif-ul-Malook, situated at a height 10, 600 feet at the northern tip of the Kaghan Valley in Pakistan’s Himalayas, is  one of the  most beautiful places on earth. I have been there twice, the first time as a 12-year old and then in 2009, when I determined to capture some of its magic on camera and on paper, in the words of two local storytellers who relate the legend of the Lake to visitors. It is the story of a prince and a fairy, Saif-ul-Malook and Badr-ul-Jamal – a story of love, adventure, faith, magic, suffering and betrayal – a story of the multitude of human passions. Many different versions exist, but below is a reproduction of what the storytellers told us, with some writer’s liberties. I hope you enjoy it!

Me and my brother's cross this lake by walk🦿

A dream land. One of the most beautiful and visited Lake of Pakistan.

Saiful Muluk is a mountainous lake located at the northern end of the Kaghan Valley, near the town of Naran in the Saiful Muluk National Park. The lake is a source of the Kunhar river. At an elevation of 3,224 m above sea level, the lake is located above the tree line, and is one of the highest lakes in Pakistan

Outstanding Lake ,an hour and 30 mins drive from naran bazar but it’s worth it.road is in bad condition so you need the local jeeps or revo or furtuner etc.price is around 2 to 3 thousand for a round trip but may vary in peak season.

?????

I cannot describe the lake's beauty in words.... Fantastic experience. 😍

Very good place to visit.please if you are Pakistani come here.you will love this place

Wonderful view of saif Ul Malook PC: Hashim Daud Wazir

So cold.water..and weather..But thats the place where you can enjoy nature alot

Saiful Muluk. Situated at the height of 10,578 feet (3,224 meters) above sea level, Saiful Muluk is the most beautiful lake in the Kaghan Valley. Offering splendid views of the Peak of Malika Parbat (Mountain) this lake is a water source for River Kunhar, the river that is going along with us from the Mansehra district. Hardly a little up the lake at that place is a grassy land we enjoying the breathtaking panorama of the lake and the mountains and talking over the beauty of this place. The pleasant smell and the pollution free environment, make us feel that we are in some other world. The weather is sort of undefinable as the wind is cold and the areas where there are clouds and shade it feels very cold but at the area where the sun is shining it feels too hot. At the place where we were sitting it was shaded in the beginning, but after an hour the sun started shining on us and the weather was turning hot. The water is too clear and reflection of nearby mountain seen in the lake is amazing, it feels like a huge mirror lying on the ground.

One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen on this earth.

This is lovely, mesmerising and amazing place I ever visited. Earlier, it was quite peaceful as less people used to go there. But, now it's getting bit crowded. One can take a jeep from Naran to go there as there's no proper road to take the car. Only SUV can go.

Beautiful place it was totally worth going there view is perfect from everywhere ! The roads to get there are very bad ! But once you reach there you will feel you are in haven boat trip to other side was also nice experience it was totally cheap not expensive the guys were funny while explaining the place ! Walking around going here and there was an experience would always make me come back

I loved that place ❤️❤️❤️

A very beautiful place covered with snow and greenery every where. It Was mid August but temperature was 9 degree C

This is Amazing Lake i like and want to come again ❣️

A lovely place to enjoy nature. However it is overcrowded and is loaded with trash. The road is also very dangerous and improper. To reach there you must have a jeep. It is a one hour drive from Naran.

beautiful place

Lake Saif al-Muluk is truly enchanting and beautiful. There are lofty, snow-capped peaks around the lake. If you get a chance in life, you must see it once. But the 13 km road from Naran to lake is so dilapidated that you can't make this short journey in your car. You have to take the old and broken jeep of the local driver in which you cannot take your children and women. The government should pave the road

It is one of the highest and the most beautiful lakes in Pakistan, with a depth of about 50 feet below the surface. The lake is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and the melting glaciers from these peaks continue to feed the lake, which is the source of the Kunhar River.

What a lovely experience to visit this lake . Water is clean and cold . Transportation is may a problem because the path is complete off road track . You may not bring your on vehicle there but don’t worry you will find many jeeps in Naran willing to take tourists on lake Saif Ul malook . Fairs are quite reasonable just need to negotiate a little . Overall its a wonderful experience. Spend time on lake . Eat snacks . Ride horse . And enjoy your time over there .

Saif-ul-Mulook Lake is one of the best and most visited lakes in Pakistan. The way to lke is not easy. The road condition is not good. But overall the lake provides beautiful scenery and the mountains surrounding it are stunning. Just Lovvvvvvvvvvvvve it.

Im Vietnamese n im muslim converted since 2016. I have company for export greentea n agriculral products from vietnam to Pakistan since 2017 n i came here in 2019 for visit my buyers n partner familly. i love pakistan so much. Pakistan zindabad.

Pleasure to visit here.

Awesome when ever I go I really enjoy it

One of the best place in kpk ♥️

One of the highest lake in Pakistan located at the northern end of Kaghan Valley (one of my favorite valley) surrounded by giant glaciers which also includes Malika Parbat. This lake is at an altitude of 3,224 meters and 10,578 feet above sea level. Talking about its structure it’s like a bowl in which multiple glacial waters accumulate. Millions of local and international tourists visit this place. Saif-ul-Malook Lake is one of the most famous tourist spot in the country. It is easily accessible in summers with a bumpy jeep ride but access in winter is limited because of land sliding and heavy snowfall. After the jeep ride, there are a few minute’s walks to get closer to lake Saif-ul-Malook. This lake is completely frozen in winter. Best time to visit this place is from June to September weather is in favorable condition but don’t forget your jackets in summers while visiting this greenish-blue crystal clear and freezing water lake. Few people took their own vehicles from Naran till the lake, but it is highly recommended to use the jeeps that available and are used for this purpose. This will help the locals in terms of money. The route is on their fingertips they know how to drive you there safely. You can enjoy horse riding and you can also hire them if you are not in a mood of walk. Boating facility is also available but be very careful, because the lake is very deep no one knows it’s accurate depth till now. For full moon lovers this lake is a treat camping at the time of the full moon is like sitting in a fairyland. It is highly recommended for those who want to see the moon shining at it brightest amongst billion of the stars in the sky. This lake has a lot of tuck shops and restaurants with a beautiful view of Saif-ul-Malook lake. So you can easily get your favorite food like local cuisine or you can also enjoy pakora, Fries and stuff with tea, coffee etc if you are not in a mood of heavy meal. Its a Request: Please!! stop littering at such places. if you are planning or anyone in your friend list is then please do a favor keep that place clean. Littering causes pollution which is major threat to the environment. And Pakistan is our home so it’s our responsibility to make this place clean and green. So please encourage other people not to litter.

Very cold

Very amazing lake but try to reach early morning the water is so clear that time. The real beauty of Pakistan 🇵🇰. The boat charges are expensive but are ready for bargaining

Awesome place

Good picinc spot

In childhood we listen the stories that Fairies are coming to Saiful Muluk lake and dancing at full moon night, when we reached there, at first sight I really feel that fairies are coming to Lake, it is due to beauty of this lake. All around sky touching mountains and middle of it is water lake, like egg yolk. Beautiful lake ever seen in my life. Try to go with your love one and spend beeautifull moments of life.

Pakistan very Beautifully Country visit For Saif ul Maluk lake

Its called that during full moon nights 🌙 fairies comes here. Its called fairy's Lake as well in Pakistan. Beautiful Aerial View.

Beautiful 🤩

Nice place to visit. Reflection of mountains in the early morning looks beautiful. Way to the lake is through local jeeps and road is very dangerous.

One of the best wonders of Pakistan a true beauty I suggest that you go there early in the morning otherwise the views I get will fade after sun rises You can see them in my videos and pics

Magical place of Pakistan. Can't believe how much beautiful. Awesome beauty. Green land blue water and ice on the mountains. Can be go there by jeep.

Words can not describe the beauty of Said ul Maluk lake. It's just beautiful. But I would like to highlight things which government and concerned officials must work on. i.e. cleanliness of the area and moving food stalls away from lake or making proper food eating area which has proper drain system. Currently, this drain and waste is affecting the lake. I would request people who are visiting the lake please don't litter in this area. Keep a bag with you and put all the wrappers or waste specially diapers in that. Don't dump them in lake area. It's your own lake so please own it and keep it clean. Otherwise, we will lose this precious gift of God.

Awesome place to visit breath taking views but going to the lake is bone shaking ride. roads are totally broken only four wheelers can go but it is worth going

Beauty.?

I can't discribe in words,amazing, outstanding place,I loved it

Beautiful or hicking lovers place

Beautiful place for summer

Awesome.

Once it was a wonderful Lake 20 years ago .Saif ul Malook is world famous Lake.tourists enjoyed a lot there but now due to heavy flow of tourists,boating in Lake, restaurants on the lake rush of jeeps in hundreds coming and going there is too much filth and pollution which has destroyed its beauty

All time superhit

A very beautiful place that looks like straight out of a fairy tale. The place has been however left dirty by the travelers. Remember to play your role in preserving the environment and protecting the natural beauty of Pakistan!

Sometime before I heard that JHEEL SAIF-UL-MALUK is near to NARAAN. When we visited naaran at night 9:30 pm. I stay at naraan hotel for night. Next day i take break fast and make a destination for JHEEL SAIF-UL-MALUK by their famous transport JEEP. Just after 45 mins I reached at my destination what I am seeing the beauty of Pakistan mashallah it was very beautiful the flow of cold water everywhere. That was really amazing. MUST VISIT.

Beautiful lovely place

Very Beautiful Place Recommended

A bit rushed but overall a good place. I would tale time to reach there and only jeeps can reach there with professional rider.

What a beauty. I can't express the experience in words

Amassing

You're gonna love this place and the ride you take getting there, Awesome

SubhanAllah wonderful 👏 and scenic place

Peaceful area.

Hardest way to reach but rewarded with beautiful view. Enjoyed short stay there in freezing temperature. Lake usually closed for visitors after sunset. Tea, coffee and snacks are available.

Beautiful Visiting Place

natural beauty

Iconic

Best northern area of pakistan.

Saif-ul-Malook Lake is shaped in a valley between surrounding mountains, the nearest village is called Naran located to the north of the lake. It is called as the highest lake in Pakistan Both views in summer and winter and indescribably beautiful in a breath-taking view The air is fresh There is many beautiful views of the lake and the park surrounding it. Few activities are provided by individuals in summer time like horse riding and decorated boats

Peaceful

Iconic 🤩

One of the nature's most beautiful thing in Pakistan is this lake. Mesmerizing scenes and mountains. Thrilling approach from naran to this lake via jeeps. This awesome place can be visited easily from naran using jeeps at fixed rates that vary from 1500 to 4500 rupees depending on demand and season peak.

Beautiful Lake whole pakistan. All around snow mountain.

Among the best places I have been. The track was tough but it was worth it.

Unforgettable moments at this fair tale lake, where I got to meet the real Pakistani locals who provided us with very delicious food for very low prices. The air is very fresh and the lake is just stunning.

It's one of my favorite places. If you see the beauty, you will definitely say. Yes I would love to stay here for a long time. The peace and comfort of this lake is not anywhere

Good looking areas.

Amazing travel experience on jeep, excellent views, mesmerizing beauty of lake and mountains

No words about this very beautiful place and always thought about Almighty God who created these things

People used to say Saifulmulok is a wonder of ALLAH SWT First time experience was phenomenal But sad by the distorted natural by visitors Countless people during summer days Bad dhaaba hotels Where are the authorities 3rd time i dared to cross the lake and moved to other side and i did the hiking of aansu lake It really is a wonder (we ignorant people are polluting it) Real beauty starts after the lake saiful muluk Every picture is from those meadows On the way to aansu lake Not even a single picture is from any other location
