One has to travel a dirt track passing through roaring waterfalls, vast green meadows and flickering small lakes to reach it. PHOTO: FAZAL KHALIQ/THE EXPRESS TRIBUNE

Before the summer, the lake was not accessible for common vehicles and only jeeps with four-wheel drive could get through the stony-slopes. PHOTO: FAZAL KHALIQ/THE EXPRESS TRIBUNE

Many small groups and families were busy enjoying the lush green valley. Some were sitting, some lying, some were busy cooking and others eating. PHOTO: FAZAL KHALIQ/THE EXPRESS TRIBUNE

its a magical place, however the people who visit, often make a mess. They leave all the trash, mainly plastic, which is really harmful for the environment and the specific place as well. So PLEASE try to keep this natural beauty clean.
