Imagine a vast turquoise lake surrounded by towering mountains, reflecting the sky like a giant mirror—this is Attabad Lake, one of Pakistan’s most stunning natural wonders. Located just a scenic drive away from Skynest Guest House Hunza, Attabad Lake is a must-visit destination for every traveler seeking beauty, adventure, and serenity in the heart of the Karakoram.
Attabad Lake came into existence in 2010 after a massive landslide blocked the Hunza River, creating this surreal body of water. What began as a natural disaster transformed into one of the most beautiful tourist attractions in Gilgit-Baltistan. Today, Attabad Lake stands as a symbol of resilience and nature’s ability to heal and transform.
The crystal-clear, blue-green waters of Attabad Lake are perfect for boating and water sports. Whether you choose a calm boat ride or a thrilling jet ski adventure, the lake offers a refreshing escape into nature.
Enjoy tea or a traditional Hunza meal at one of the cafes overlooking the lake. With the cool breeze and breathtaking scenery, it's the perfect spot to relax and recharge.
Attabad’s surreal beauty is a dream for photographers. Capture the contrast of the vivid blue water against the rugged brown mountains—photos you’ll cherish forever.
On the way to Attabad, you’ll pass through the famous Pak-China Friendship Tunnels built alongside the lake. These tunnels are engineering marvels and offer a unique driving experience with scenic views at every turn.
From Skynest Guest House Hunza, Attabad Lake is approximately a 30 to 40-minute drive along the Karakoram Highway. Our staff can help arrange transport or a guided trip to make your visit seamless and enjoyable.
Plan your visit during early morning or late afternoon hours for the best lighting and fewer crowds. If you're visiting during summer, pack a light jacket—the breeze off the lake can be surprisingly cool!
