The Naltar Lakes are a cluster of small alpine lakes known for distinctly different mineral influenced colours from one pool to the next, unusual among Pakistan's alpine lakes, and reached via the same valley that hosts the country's main ski resort.
History
The lakes have long been known to Naltar Valley's Shina speaking communities, gaining broader visitor attention alongside the valley's development as Pakistan's primary winter sports training location.
