    Highly recommended & also do camping there just go by evening to Dawarian & park your vehicle there , take ride on jeep, it will take 2.5 hrs to reach at base camp, stay night at base camp, wake up early morning around 5:30 & go to the jheel by horse ride or on feet. Witness sunrise there & you will never regret this amazing adventure. Jeep cost around 8-11K Camp cost around 2k-3K (4,5 persons) Breakfast & dinner also served by the camp owners ( extra charges)

    Beautiful lake at altitude of more than 12000 feet surrounded by unparallel beauty of nature. A must visit place. However track from dawarian to Lake base camp is extremely difficult and accessible only by 4×4 jeep. From base camp you can reach lake either by hiking or by booking horse ride.

    Best place to visit in Neelum Valley. 1. Park your car at Dowarian 2. Take a Jeep to Ratti Gali base camp (3-4 hour ride), ride I tough and full off roading so be prepared 3. Base camp is huge and their is a lot of space to camp out plus camp are also available for renting 4. Base to lake is a hike of around 1 to 1.5 hours and is very steep so pack proper gear if you want to enjoy properly

    It usually takes 45 minutes to reach Ratti Gali from Base Camp. There are comfortable arrangments for night stay at base camp. You can easily go towards lake by yourself or rent horse from locals. You have to rent jeep in order to reach base camp. No chance of inconvenience at any point!

    The path was very dangerous but when we reached there, everything was forgotten. When we looked from one side to the other, we were stunned. What a beautiful place nature has created.When we reached Ratigali base camp I was greeted by my own view of the clouds. The journey beyond that, which has to be done on foot and on horseback, is a different experience. There are two lakes there.When you pass by the first prison, it is not close, it feels like you are standing in the sky and on the far ground you see a lake, a water, it is a very beautiful sight. Seeing this sight, you are forced to appreciate the nature, because اللہ تعالی has made it very beautiful۔

    One of the best and almost late discovered lakes of Pakistan. Best time to travel there is from July as mote than half of the lake was covered with snow. Beautiful red flowers and background of tall mountains makes stunning view.

    A valley between the Great Himalayan range and the Pir Panjal mountain range, Kashmir is a place of beautiful simplicity and pristine natural beauty. ... Kashmir has a variety of terrains ranging from lakes, snow-capped mountains, coniferous kissed hills to glacier fed rivers.Fertile, green, mountainous valleys are characteristic of Azad Kashmir's geography, making it one of the most beautiful regions on the subcontinent. Ratti Gali Lake is an alpine glacial lake which is located in Neelum Valley, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan.The lake is fed by the surrounding glacier waters of the mountains. Beauty of the Marvellous Mountains Glaciers take you into the trans & you never want to come back. Traveling there is pleasing experience for me.But you can't Mange this experience with you essentials like Hotel,Food & off course Rides. Tour with Soofi Travels & Tourism, it is an amazing experience. Mangement , Timings and overall staff behavior is an appericiateable thing. They arrange tours weekly and in affordable price. Recommended Tourism Agency!

    Beside all tough weather conditions, heavy rain and extremely wet and muddy track, it felt like worlds reaching at the lake!!! totally worth it! what a mesmerizing sight to call it a trip of life time..it was very cloudy, rainy and cold. but went sunny after some time and again cloudy. So we had all of'em weather conditions 🙂

    Ratti Gali Lake is an extremely beautiful lake on the ground that resembles a glimpse of paradise. Even though the path to reach it is very risky, once you arrive at the lake, all the exhaustion from the journey not only disappears but also the person gets lost in the enchanting views of the lake. Velvety green grass, pink and red flowers covered in snow on the surrounding mountains, the changing cold weather, all allure the heart. I highly recommend experiencing this at least once in a lifetime.

    What a beautiful place. Purely a nature gift to humanity. You will forget all the pain of tracking once you reach top. Horses are available at the cost of 500 pkr. But it is ok to track. You will enjoy ✨

    What a beautiful place lovely charming attractive place . But the way to go is very difficult. Jeep or 4 wheel drive and highly expert driver need. Moreover from base camp to ratti gali have to go on horses or walk it is also very tough and rough

  • 5/5 Rana Saifullah k. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best place in Kashmir. But the road is known as most dangerous road in the world. Now talk about Season, mostly rati gali lake open in end of june to end of September. The length of Rati Gali road is 16 km (cheap track) and 2Km hicking track. Mostly 1:30-3:00 hour require to reach on Rati Gali base camp. #Cheep price: If your are more than 4 people you have to book a cheep, in season time cheep price is so high (6000-10000) If you are two people than look for local cheep ,you can easily afford in 2000. #Is it safe for kids? No i Didn't not recommend to take your kids(2-4 years) there ,its very risky #Can we stay night there'? Yes you can stay night at Base camp. Local resident offer camps there,you can easily get in Rs1500-2000 per night with all facilities (except food). #Are horses available on hicking track? Yes ! If you have no interest in hiking, you can hire a horse there in just Rs400-500 single side . #How much time we can spend on ratti Gali lake? Ratti gali lake is at 14000+ height ,so quite Cold in August September. You can only stay 2-3 hour maximum. Very enjoyable and beautiful lake. #What is the cost of food at Ratti Gali Base camp? Food price is so high there. Still any other question,feel free to ask?

    Heaven on earth, exclusive place to visit and enjoy. Best time to visit would be early spring when all the snow melts down and the nature rejuvenate back with full swing of colors. Ice lurking through the mountain peaks and natural water springs making there way to the lake. You need to hike from the base camp which usually for a healthy individual requires 1 hour.

    When i visited this lake back in 2016. Everything was so raw and beautiful. But ofcourse with time, lots of tourists started visited and i did not get that vibe. I can understand that if we talk about promoting tourism, we cannot stop people from going to such beautiful places. Everybody have a rights to see the beauty of such places. But we need to be very carefully. As a community its our responsibility to protect these places. Kindly comment how and what can be the great ideas or initiatives to educate people about this?

    I have seen many places in Kashmir . But ratti gali was the best . There are also many other lakes in that area but u can't reach there without proper hiking equipment . Its basecamp has better facilities than other lakes .

  • 5/5 Altaf H. 3 years ago on Google
    Very beautiful worth seeing place. A panoramic view is waiting when you reach there after tiresome journey. An important conclusion of my experience that anybody must must have make it sure that jeeps are approaching directly to the base camp. Sometime jeeps start from dwarian and drops 6 km away from base camp. This 6 km hiking/walk ruin the whole trip.

    Ratti Gali lake is situated in Azad Kashmir Pakistan. The trek to Ratii gali lake starts from Dawarian, a small village about 150 km from Muzafarabad. the lake is 18 km from this village and trek is quite hard. jeeps are available to reach the lake at Dawarian in very reasonable money. the lake it one of the best lakes in AJK>

    Beauty. The best time to hike to lake is before sunrise

  • 5/5 Imran J. 3 years ago on Google
    If someone said Kashmir us heaven then this place is heart of it. For sure, it is not part of earth, but of heaven. This place has about 2 hours keep route from base Dawarian about 18 km. Then there is track of 2 km which can be done manually or on horses. By foot it may take about 1 hour and on horse it may take 30 mins. Although this place has limited facilities yet it's natural beauty deserves to be visited.
