Naltar Valley is a scenic alpine valley located 44 kilometers northwest of Gilgit in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan.

Situated at an elevation of 2,898 meters in the Karakoram mountain range, the valley covers an area of 27,206 hectares and is divided into two parts: Naltar Payeen and Naltar Bala.

Naltar Bala hosts most of the settlements and scenic spots, while Naltar Payeen marks the entry point near Nomal village and includes early tribal settlements.

The valley is home to vibrant glacier-fed lakes collectively known as the Bishkiri Lakes, including the famous Satrangi Lake, Blue Lake, Feroza Lake, and Bodlok Lake.

These lakes originate from the melting glaciers of Shani Peak and feed the Naltar River, which ultimately merges with the Hunza River near Nomal.

Naltar is also Pakistan’s oldest ski resort and one of only two skiing destinations in the country, hosting winter sports events like ice hockey and figure skating.

The Pakistan Air Force maintains facilities in the valley for snow survival training and supports winter sports through national associations.

The local population of about 6,000 comprises tribes such as the Yashkun, Sheen, and Gujjars, who live in traditional villages and engage in agriculture, particularly potato farming.

The valley's diverse terrain includes conifer forests, meadows, wetlands, and a snow leopard sanctuary, making it rich in both natural beauty and biodiversity.

Today, Naltar Valley stands as a unique blend of natural splendor, cultural heritage, and recreational importance in the mountainous north of Pakistan.
