Luckily i was born in one of the most beautiful countries of the world. If i look at the north i see mountains and rivers and forests.. the south is bounded by the arabian sea.. full of life. I love north the most. Last year in summer i had a chance to visit Gilgit baltistan. An absolute majesty. Since it was a university trip so we made a few stops. Naltar was one of them. It is a valley located 40 km from Gilgit city and is only accessible by jeeps. The journey is amazing.. the road is narrow and runs alongside a stream coming from the mountains that carries a stunning view. As we neared the valley the temperature started to drop. It did to a point where we all felt compelled to wear our jackets. We stopped at Naltar lake. It is also called 7 colored lake which is obvious once you see it. From where i stood i could see a mountain of rocks on the left of the lake (the one we climbed later and my friends had to help me all the way up. :p).. presents a splendid view from the top, plain green land at the back bounded at the left by huge mountains with a few signs of snow at the top. there was a stream coming from it making its way through the land. Its water was freezing cold. One couldn't stay in the water for more than a few seconds. Summer is the best time to visit since Its impossible to reach the valley in winters because of the snow. Naltar valley is another miracle of God. Full of life and colors. I hope i go again soon.
