Naltar Lakes are a group of four glacial lakes located in the picturesque Naltar Valley of Gilgit-Baltistan.

These lakes, sometimes collectively referred to as Bishkiri Lakes, are fed by the meltwater of Shani Glacier near Shani Peak.

The lakes are known for their vibrant and multi-colored hues, caused by glacial sediments, moss, and aquatic vegetation.

The first lake is Satrangi Lake, also called Bishkiri Lake I, famous for its seven distinct colors and a Public Works Department Rest House at its edge.

Satrangi Lake covers an area of 21,000 square meters and is located about 12 kilometers from Naltar Bala, accessible via 4x4 jeep.

One kilometer ahead lies the Blue Lake or Bishkiri Lake II, with a bluish tint and seasonal lakes nearby formed by glacial melt.

Feroza Lake, or Bishkiri Lake III, lies another kilometer upstream and is named after its turquoise color; it spans 5,000 square meters and sits on the western bank of the Naltar River.

The largest of the four is Bodlok Lake, also known as Murky or Milky Lake, which covers 243,053 square meters and lies 1.3 kilometers west of Blue Lake.

These lakes form the origin of the Naltar River, which flows through the valley and eventually joins the Hunza River near Nomal.

Surrounded by alpine terrain and snow-capped peaks, Naltar Lakes are among the most captivating natural attractions in northern Pakistan.
