Pakistan - Kutwal Lake


The fairy-tale lake of “Kutwal”, 3300 meters in altitude is one of the highlights of this trek. It shimmers under the shadows of Haramosh Peak 7409 Mt and Mani Peak 6684 Mts., flanked by the Mani Glacier.

Towards its South-west are the snow covered ridges and peaks of the Haramosh range presenting awe-inspiring views of the beautiful landscape while the “Bilchar Peak” (6134 Mts.) and other snow bound ridges of the “Rakaposhi Range” are towards its north and the north-west. Towards the east is the “Haramosh La”, 4800 meters high and the snow covered ridges of the “Liala Massif” (6770-6300 Mts.) and due north east are the high ridges of the “Malibuting Massif” (7458 to 7260 Mts.). It is indeed a mountain wonderland.
