9 My Personal Experience

Lulusar Lake left me speechless

The journey was long but scenic and as we climbed up from Naran the air got cooler and views more dramatic When I finally stood in front of the turquoise blue water I felt like I had stepped into a painting The silence was surreal broken only by wind and distant chirping birds

I took a moment spread my arms wide and just absorbed it all the view the air the peace

If you ever visit Kaghan Valley do not miss this place It is not as crowded as Lake Saif ul Malook but equally if not more beautiful
