Lake Saiful Maluk : Heaven On Earth

Have you ever stared at the sky and wondered why we have made such a mess of things. I wonder how we can tear up the seas and use up the trees all in the name of progress. It is such a tragedy that we are damaging things so fast and they will soon be way beyond repair. It makes me feel sad to think that future generations will not have the natural things to enjoy as we have had.

But I think there are still some spectacular places around the world that can fill our thirst of natural beauty. Lake Saiful Maluk is one of those natural places that you cannot stop appreciating once you have seen it. At an altitude of 10,570 feet, the lake is one of the highest located lakes in the world with its natural tranquility in the foot hills of Himalayas. The crystal clear water in the lake comes from multiple glaciers around the high basin. High altitude and fresh water lakes are something very rare in the world.

A fairy tale called Saiful Muluk is associated with the lake, which discusses a prince who falls in love with a fairy princess. Lake's heavenly beauty has such a magical effect; people believe that fairies come down to lake in full moon.

The lake is located in District Mansehra,Pakistan. It lies at the northern end of the Kaghan Valley and 5 miles away from Naran Valley. A Visit to Kaghan Valley will leave you enchanted by the spectacular beauty of its mountains, glaciers and lush greenery. Saiful Maluk is one of the most beautiful lakes of the world. To sit beside the lake is to be in the fairy world. Camping at Saiful Maluk is an experience of life time.
