Overview
The Naltar Valley Trek offers a peaceful escape into lush alpine meadows, sparkling lakes, and deep pine forests. Located about 40 km from Gilgit, Naltar is famous for its crystal-clear lakes—especially Satrangi and Blue Lake—and for being a ski resort in the winter. This trek is ideal for families, nature lovers, and beginners who want to experience the grandeur of the mountains without the strain of a high-altitude expedition. The area is rich in wildlife, and during spring and summer, wildflowers blanket the valley.
