Manoor Valley/Ansoo Lake Trek
Introduction:
Ansoo Lake which remained undiscovered, even by the locals, for many years in our beautiful Kaghan valley. It was found out by the Pakistan Air Force pilots in 1993, who was flying at a relatively low altitude over the area. Named as Ansoo, which means “teardrop” in Urdu because of its unique teardrop shape, this lake is located at an elevation of 4,245 meters above sea level. Ansoo Lake is known for its challenging terrain and breathtaking views, with the lake itself being a rare sight to behold. The lake is often obscured by fog or rain, making it a destination that requires both luck and determination to reach. However, those who make the journey are rewarded with the serene beauty of the lake and the surrounding landscape.
