Karambar Lake – Trekker’s Ultimate Reward
Introduction
Karambar Lake, situated at a height of 4,272 meters in the Ishkoman Valley of Gilgit-Baltistan, is one of the most unspoiled lakes in the world. Its crystal clear water, mountains and complete silence will make your trip wonderful – this place is not just a lake, it is an experience. There are many lakes in Gilgit Baltistan, of which this one is on the top list.
Why is Karambar Lake so special?
- Lake that looks like a canvas
Karambar Lake is about 4 km long and more than 50 meters deep. The water is so clear that you can see all the way to the bottom of the lake. Its color changes from blue to turquoise, depending on time and light. - Challenge for adventure seekers
There is no road here. You have to trek for multiple days — and this trek will become memorable for you, passing through mountains, valleys and glaciers. But when you reach near the lake, you will be amazed. - Heaven for wildlife and nature lovers
Rare plants and lovely animals are found in this zone between Hindu Kush and Pamir. The environment here is completely untouched — it seems as if the world has not yet reached here. - Touch of local culture
During the trek, you come to other Kohistani villages where people still follow their old traditions. Often you get invitations for tea and stories. A little chat with them can refresh you.
Remember
- Best time: Between June to September.
- How to reach: The trek starts from Ishkoman Valley. It is mandatory to take a guide. The journey lasts for 4-6 days.
- What to carry: Trekking gear, camping items, food and first aid. This is not a casual trip – be prepared.
- Take care of cleanliness: Do not disturb nature. No littering, no damage.
