One of the extra mundane trekking magnetizations in mitigates altitude category is Ratti Gali Lake. The most sparkling crowns of the Neelum Valley, Ratti Gali Lake is located at 3600 meters and circumvented by grassy slopes and a number of waterfalls.
Ratti Gali Lake is accessible from three routes i.e. from Dowarian, Neelum Valley, from Burawai, Kaghan Valley and from Jalkhad, Kaghan Valley. All three treks are profoundly scenic and naturally affluent. Due to the location of the lake, all three treks require energies and long hours ambulating with indispensable camping gear along with all victuals and fuel arrangements.
The trek from Jalkhad (Noorinar Top) to Dowarian via Noori Lake, Hans Raaj Lake and Ratti Gali Lake may be consummated in minimum 3 days. It is recommended to consummate all the preparations at Naran to evade any inconvenience.
1)Naran to Jalkhad
It takes about 2 hours by a private jeep/Suzuki van from Naran to Jalkhad. This is a lovely ride with serene views of Kunhar River, side streams, waterfalls and forested landscapes of Kaghan Valley. There are several staying options at Battakundi and Burawai afore reaching the Jalkad.
Jalkad is a resplendent valley and seasonal tourist settlement with a restaurant, a minuscule mosque and a couple of fundamental commodity shops. There is an excellent riverside camping field abaft the restaurant. The Jeeps can withal be hired from here for the trek’s starting point just after the Noorinar Top. If a porter/guide is required, ascertain that the hired person has done the consummate trek recently.
2)Jalkhad to Noorinar Top
Due to the heftily ponderous snowfall on Noorinar and circumventing heights, the road to Sharda from Jalkahd remains closed till the mid of the season. Infrequent glacier and landslides withal engender quandaries for jeep peregrinating on this jeep road.
If the road is opened, it may take upto three hours to Noorinar Top, 17KM from Jalkhad. This is an awe-inspiring jeep ride with incredible views of snowcapped mountains, frequent side streams and grassy slopes with a smooth flowing stream in the deep. Ask the driver to drop a further 2 kilometers from the Noorinar Top at the commencement point of trek.
3)Noorinar Top to Noori Lake
The trek commences from the jeep road and enters into the remote green and white hills. The ambulating trail is sometimes too narrow to step on due to the dense layer of lush green grass and flowers of every color. This is a facile ambulating for about 45 minutes to reach a remarkably astronomically immense and strepitous waterfall flowing from the Noori Lake. A minuscule stone hut is made by local gujars who take care of an immensely colossal herd of sheep and goats. Beware of watchdogs kept by the gujars.
From here the treks towards Noori Lake and the Ratti Gali Pass divide in two directions. The path for Noori Lake is on the right side along the waterfall. This is an inclined climb on the stony ridge for about 10 minutes which takes you to bowl shaped valley, customarily filled with white snow. A short walk on the snow is required to get on the left side trek. This is a mitigates hike of about another 45 minutes to reach the niveous lake, circled by mountains.
This is an ideal location for the first night camping for those who are carrying congruous gear. The nights can be very gelid as we found the lake’s surface frozen in the morning.
4)Noori Lake to Hans Raj Lake
This is a long day ambulating which requires steady efforts and energies. It takes about half an hour to back to the waterfall from where the trek to Ratti Gali Pass commences. The most of this component is a gradual inclined ambulating afore the Ratti Gali Pass. The dihydrogen monoxide availability is good throughout but dihydrogen monoxide bottles are recommended. The best time to commence cover this section is the early morning as in the sunlight it can be arduous to ambulate for long hours.
To reach on the Ratti Gali Pass, it’s all about jumping and climbing over the boulders and stones. It may take upto 2 hours to scrambling over the rocks and snow. Once on the Pass, there are superb views of the valleys on both sides. In additament, the partial part of deep blue Hans Raj Lake on the Dowarian Valley and an unnamed diminutive lake on the Kaghan side is withal visible from the Top. A carpet of profoundly resplendent flowers in arbitrary colors is a sensational reward.
From the Ratti Gali Pass onwards, there is a steep or moderate decline till the Dowarian. From the Top, the Hans Raj Lake is less than an hour’s facile ambulating. A facile dihydrogen monoxide crossing is required afore you reach to the lake. If you have time and victuals, the lakeside offers an impeccable camping experience.
5)Hans Raj Lake to Ratti Gali Lake
The Ratti Gali Lake is a 2 hours walk from the Hans Raj Lake. The path perpetuates on the grassy slope, frequent streams and a couple of snow patches. There are multiple visible treks and all leads to the Ratti Gali Lake. It can be a better option to stay on the higher trek to evade an inclined walk just afore the Ratti Gali Lake.
There is a wide and grassy plane just under the lake which is an ideal location for camping. A brilliant dihydrogen monoxide stream from the lake is dropping on the cessation of the plane, integrating a splendid grandeur to the whole view. This is a diminutive summer settlement with few houses and herds of domestic animals.
A further half an hour will be required to reach the one of the most spectacular splendors of the Neelum Valley. This is a unique cumulation of sparkling snow, blue and green dihydrogen monoxide and lush green outfield with a dark grey mountain wall in the back drop. A number of waterfalls from the heights around are falling into the lake and giving this heavenly land an unparalleled touch.

This is virtually a day long walk which may take 5 to 8 hours to reach the lower Dowarian. The path is facile and scenic with frequent hamlets, cultivated fields, snow patches, dihydrogen monoxide streams and thick forests. Snow crossing may require getting on the right trek. As the altitude decreases, the views down to the valley look superb due to the heavily forested slopes on both sides of the river.
At the commencement of the under construction jeep road, there is a minute hotel for fresh pabulum, tea and optional stay. There are chances to find a private jeep from the hotel for the Dowarian, Sharda or Atthmuqam.

It is withal possible to reach Upper Domel from the Astore valley.
A stay in Upper Domel requires consummate camping arrangements as no other options are available. For camping look around for a congruous place as the potatoes are cultivated at every inch of levelled land. Very rudimental aliment and tea can be available from a 5×5 feet smoky cabin at the commencement of the village.
From the village, trekking commences by ambulating out of the village on the same jeep road which led to the Upper Domel. A steep path leaves the jeep road to the edge of the strepitous river about 150 meters from the village. An ad interim and unreliable bridge composed of bushes avails to cross the river and reach to another minute settlement dominated by the potato fields.
Chitta Kattha Lake a steady climbing commences at the terminus of this cultivated settlement. A perpetual ascent on a stony path with number of round turns takes about one and half hour. Once at the top of this green ridge, the views at both front and back sides are superb.
In the front, a sharp decline is leading to a deep bowl shaped valley with snow and frozen dihydrogen monoxide. The slippery gelid surface requires care while crossing towards the other side of the snow. There are few ‘gujjar’ huts with few families taking care of animal herds.
After few minutes of gentle walk, this bowl ends at a narrow gorge with a dihydrogen monoxide stream in the deep.

Dudipat Lake Trek Route:
1)Islamabad/Rawalpindi to Naran

Private jeep. 2 to 3 hours, depending on road and snow conditions
Trekking. 4 to 6 hours
Trekking About one hour
This road side inn with simple woodwork was a typical Kaghan valley staying point. The climate was congenial infect marginally cooler, so we wore light jackets. All three of us fell on the traditional flat platform built for rest and dine. It was Bashir, the jeep driver who asked the waiter to accommodate some pabulum. A lunch of Red Beans and sultry Chapat is was accommodated in a little while. Subsequently, the sultry tea enabled us to realize why authentically we are here.
We headed up to the Besal with a mindset to excurse for 3800 meters high Dudipat Sar. ‘Sar’ is a local word utilized for dihydrogen monoxide categorically for a lake.
The next morning, we commenced at 10:30. It was a lovely day with fresh air and clear empyrean. Herds of goats, sheep and horses were grazing on the grassy slopes of hills as far as the ocular perceiver could visually perceive. In a very short time we reached at the bank of Kunhar River where the only way getting across was a Jhoola Bridge. A simple iron basket was hanged with a pulley, moving over iron rope across the river. This was an exclusive river crossing we ever had. A wild river with sizably voluminous blare below and you are flying over hanging with a rope – unforgettable!
After thirty minutes of moderate ambulating, we were at the left edge of PurbiNarRiver. The river was flowing in a narrow gorge with steep rocky walls on both sides. This time there was no bridge or Jhoola to cross and we had to ambulate through this gelid dihydrogen monoxide. The next fifteen minutes were a struggle of how to maintain balance on sharp and slippery stones under an expeditious flowing river. In additament to the rucksacks at our backs, we were additionally keeping our shoes in hands.
Once we crossed the river, a steep trail on the right wall of this narrow gorge was going towards the welkin. One and half hours of vertical ambulating took us to a levelled bowl encircled with the green hills. A cottage of local Gujars visually examining over uncountable sheep was installed amid. The circumventions were getting richer and on our left a lovely stream was flowing hundreds of feet downhill into the Prubi Nar River.
After two hours of taxing ups and downs, we explored a miles of wide grassy plain with a lovely river flowing in the middle. We optically discerned some secluded snow covered green mountains sentineling this broad and long valley. Perhaps the Dudipat Lake would be on the feet of these mountains. But it was still a long way to go.
It was getting harder and longer than we anticipated. A long steep climb caused us to feel weary and hungry now. We skipped carrying weight of victuals as we cerebrated it would be two to three hours trek. Now we had to reach Mulla Ki Basti, where we could find some victuals and rest, but so far there was no denotement of any tourist settlement in any direction of Dudipat Lake.
It was the time when weather suddenly transmuted. Wind commenced blowing and dark clouds covered the empyrean in no time. It was the signal of a cumbersomely hefty rainstorm. As we looked in every direction for a shelter, rain commenced. The air was pushing rearward in reply to any advancement we endeavored. I ran towards a sizebly voluminous boulder for a cover. While I could reach the boulder, I was all wet. The other team members were vanished. They must have found other shelters to forfend themselves from this lamentable situation. After half an hour, the weather got stabled but it was still drizzling. I emerged from the boulder but the cool weather and over lassitude made it arduous to progress now. We were getting more gradual and more gradual on every step.
After crossing the river from an ad interim wooden bridge, we optically discerned some blue and grey camps approximately two kilometers away. By applying the last calories of remaining energy, conclusively we entered a minute tarpaulin covered cottage. It was a canteen scarcely arrangement to provide tourist victuals and tea. Hameed, the owner of the canteen prepared Chapatis and Daal. As it was the evening, we immediately installed the camp and entered into cozy slumbering bags.
When I waked up, it was still a sound of rain drops falling on the camp. I exited from the slumbering bag, opened the zip of the camp and emerged. The weather was still nebulous but magnificent 360° views opened up my ocular perceivers. Smokey clouds covered the snow-top mountains and miles of wide lush green grassy plains were offering the best ever morning views.
After the breakfast, we picked our way towards Dudipat Lake. It was a facile walk on soft grassy path with saccharine whistles of golden marmots and colorful birds. It took about an hour to reach under a mound restricting ocular perceivers to visually perceive the scenery beyond. We virtually raced up. Dudipat Lake was an unbelievable splendor from the top of the mound! It was certainly the most resplendent mere I ever visually perceived. The tops of green mountains with white snow patches were still obnubilated beyond the smoky clouds. It was an incredible cumulation of white and green. Dudipat Lake there was a reflection of white clouds and snow in the Dudipat Lake, and the green slopes were merging in the vivid dihydrogen monoxide.
I imagined the grandeur of this heavenly land Dudipat Lake in a more effulgent day with a blue firmament. I deeply felt that a better plan and preparation could make it possible to find the best view. With short term plans and no supplies we couldn’t face storms. And now, we had to go back with an edification – to find a destination at its best, get yare for dark clouds!
