Ratti Gali Lake is a beautiful alpine glacial lake located in the Neelum Valley of Azad Kashmir, Pakistan. The lake is situated at an altitude of around 12,130 feet (3,700 meters) above sea level, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, trekkers, and tourists seeking breathtaking landscapes.
The name "Ratti Gali" is derived from the local language, where "Ratti" means "Paradise," and "Gali" means "Gorge." The combination aptly describes the picturesque setting of the lake amid the surrounding mountains and lush greenery.
To reach Ratti Gali Lake, visitors often embark on a challenging and scenic trek that begins from the village of Dowarian in Neelum Valley. The trek involves traversing through dense forests, crossing meadows, and negotiating steep terrain. It can take around 5 to 7 hours to complete, depending on individual fitness levels and weather conditions.
Once you arrive at Ratti Gali Lake, you are rewarded with the stunning sight of crystal-clear blue waters reflecting the surrounding peaks. The serenity of the place and the untouched natural beauty create an unforgettable experience for those who make the journey.
It's important to note that the availability of up-to-date information may vary, and local conditions may have changed since my last update in September 2021. If you plan to visit Ratti Gali Lake or any other remote location, it's advisable to check with local authorities or travel guides for the latest information and safety precautions.
