It has been twice that i visited this place and everytime it gave an unforgettable experience. A beautiful lake, preserved its natural beauty as it is, gives one of the most scenic views that one may have experienced. Boating is one of the main activities. Complete boat can be booked for 2000 rupees (around $15). A place called Nazara Hotel is just a small hike away from lake. Its peaceful ppace which serves the trout fish. Fish and view of the lake is the prize of this hotel that is worth every penny.

Phander Lake is 4 hours drive from Gilgit. Located in a cup shaped area surrounded by mountains on all sides and overlooked by PTDC Motel, the crystal clear Phander Lake is fed through a link canal from Gilgit River. Depending on the time of the day, the lake changes its colour ranging from blue to deep green. The lake contains good sized trout but it is difficult to catch them as their is lot of algae near the banks and one needs to cast a long way to avoid under water vegetation. For those staying in PTDC Motel, lake is just a 5 minutes downhill walk. A jeepable track leads up to the lake and move along the lake banks up to Gilgit River. A walk along the lake side up to Gilgit River is a real pleasure. Views at sunrise and sunset are really fascinating but one has to be one opposite sides of the lake to enjoy the real effect.

Undoubtedly, Sheosar Lake is the jewel of Deosai National Park. Located on the far end of Deosai National Park (towards Chilam Chauki side), Sheosar is quite a large sized lake at 13000 ft above sea level. There are few areas where lake water can be approached, otherwise, at many places the area on the lake shore is boggy. Lake is quite deep and has crystal clear water. There are areas around the lake where one can find places for picnic. There are a couple of small kiosks in the area that provide drinks, snacks and tea. One will have to take along the food, if one wants to eat on the lake. It could be quite windy on the lake and if the sun disappears, it could become quite chilly in a short while. The lake remains frozen for almost 4-5 months in a year.
