    In June we can not go up at lake due to glaciers. Great place for nature lovers. Very dangerous to go out of way. Always walk on paths.

    One of the most scenic lakes in Shounter Valley-Azad Kashmir, located at elevation of 4100m, Chitta katha Lake is heaven on earth. From Islamabad it's 9 to 10 hours drive to reach Sharda, followed by 4.5 hours of jeep ride to reach Upper Domail. From there one has to hike till this lake, which takes from 6 to 10 hours.

    A beautiful lake may be found in Azad Kashmir's Shounter valley called Chitta Katha Lake. It is located at a height of (13,500 feet) above sea level. Chitta Katha is a local name that translates to "White Stream." The lake Chita Katha Sar was created by the Chitta Katha stream, which originates from Mount Harri Parbat.  A challenging but gorgeous and scenic hike leads to Chita Katha Lake. The tourists are mesmerized by the location's entrancing beauty and otherworldly attraction once they arrive. From Kel to Domail Bala, the jeep track begins. The 20 kilometres (12 miles) of uneven shingle road.T he track is scenery and beautiful its divide into two section first half till duck1&2 then duck1&2 to lake. Over recommended for friends group and tracking lover, beginner may also can this track with true motivation.

    Chitta Katha is a beautiful lake in a fascinating Shounter Valley of the Heaven on Earth-Kashmir (Azad Kashmir). Altitude of this lake is around 13500feet. In local language Chitha Katha means white stream (name of the stream coming down from Hari Parbat which is originated from the lake called Chitta Katha Sar or the lake of mount Hari Parbat). Shounter Valley is located in the tehsil of Sharda in Neelum District. You can reach Chitha Katha through Muzaffarabad to Neelum Valley. When you reach Kel in Neelum, you have to take a jeep to reach Domel that is about 20km from Kel and then it’s trekking for 5KM. Kel is known to be the base camp of this lake.

    The best of best tour was hiking to chitta katha lake. Hiking started from domel bala village which is accessible from kel by a jeep which take around 2.5 hours. Hiking to chitta katha lake takes around 6 to 8 hours and it all depends upon your team stamina. Track is very very beautiful having lot of running streams, mountains, forest and rocks. Never ever take this risk to go with family and kids. Not recommended for families as track is very long and difficult. Take plenty of water, ORS sachet, and dry snacks with you. Take water sip by sip and take care of your blood sugar level. Shoes should be very comfortable and water proof and must have thick soul so that stones and rocks don't hurt you. Always hire a local guide with you otherwise you will forget the track. Start hike very early in the morning as the darkness fades away. In this way you will be able to return back by Sunset. Staying in mid way camp is not recommended at all. Try to reach domel bala by sunset. Keep torch lights, chewing gums, biscuits, dates and dry fruit along with you. Take extra pair of warm clothes, sweater and socks with you. Apply sunblock before starting hike as sunburn are very common.

    Beautiful lake during golden hours of the day...but very ordinary during sun light. The trek is very difficult for beginners but moderate for regular hikers if you want to do it in a single day. A good camp site as well to spend a night under the milky way. Total trek to the lake is around 8kms with total elevation gain is around 4500fts.

👍👍 That was an exciting day when we started our instant bike journey toward Noori Top. When we reached Noori Top jeep track and also that was off-road. Our bikes started heating up while under 2 riders. After crossing 4km ahead, the Jeep track was very hard and zigzag. So whatever we were riding slowly...
