Karomber Lake, Pakistan
Itinerary: Gilgit---> Ishkoman---> Swinje----> Karomber Lake----> Broghil----> Yasin Valley---> Chitral
This beautiful amazingly blue lake lies just near border Pakistan where it meets Wakhan. This lake is the highest one in Pakistan and 10th highest in the world. The lake is quite long and almost unexplored not many locals (as we met all the foreighners during the trek) go for this trek. The reasons include a very minor information is available for the trek and not many tour organizers arrange Pamir-Wakhan tours. As said by a group of travellers this is the best trek they had ever done and were attempting it for the fifth time!!!
Our experience was amazing... we left Karachi in love for this lake after reading the famous 'Yak Sayraye'. Believe me gathering information was really tough and as i was leading my group of 4 not-much-seasoned trekkers i had to work very hard before we left the last civilized town of Ishkoman (Imit). But in my opinion on these mountainous heights, uncivilized valleys and uncertain glaciers desperation can be the best leader and it remained untill we found this 'bluest' destination! The first sight just leaves you saying.......' Subhan Allah' [............what else :) ]
