Saif-ul-Maluk Lake

My advice is to bring your camera; the views are stunning and you’ll want to capture the moment, especially near the famous wooden boats!

If you're on a budget, skip the pricey horse rides and just hike the trail. The walk is beautiful and you’ll get to enjoy the scenery up close.
Mahodand Lake

If you plan on hiking, wear sturdy shoes... I wore sandals thinking it would be fine, but my feet weren’t happy on the rocky paths!

My advice is to take cash with you for boat rides and local snacks. Some places don't accept card payments and you don’t want to miss out on those tasty treats.
Rawal Lake

I think it’s smart to check the weather beforehand. I went during a cloudy day and missed the beautiful blue skies in my photos. A little planning could save you some time!

My advice is to take a stroll along the lake's edge and explore the hidden sitting spots. You might find a quiet place just for yourself away from the busy main areas.

Don’t forget to bring some snacks and water! There aren't many food options around and buying stuff from vendors can be a bit pricey.
Lulusar Lake

I think it’s smart to check the weather before you go. It can change unexpectedly, and I wish I had packed a light raincoat. Don't let a little drizzle ruin your day!

My advice is to pack some snacks and water. There are few shops around, and it can get pricey. Having your own food saves you money and keeps you energized for exploring!
Hanna Lake

My advice is to pack some snacks and water. The food options around can be limited and pricey, so having your own stash will save you cash

i think bringing a good pair of shoes is essential. some paths can be rocky and uneven, so comfort will make your visit a lot better.

If you're planning to rent a boat, I recommend bargaining a bit — prices can be flexible and you might snag a better deal.
Katora Lake

When you're there, take a short hike around the lake. I missed it the first time, but the views are so worth it, trust me!

I suggest visiting Katora Lake early in the morning, around 7 AM, to avoid the crowd. The tranquility at that time is just amazing!

Don't forget to pack some snacks and water. I was surprised how limited the options were nearby and it helped save some cash too.

I recommend checking the weather in advance. I got caught in rain, and it made the return trip a bit uncomfortable.
Dudipatsar
Ansoo Lake

I suggest you pack some extra snacks and water. The trek is pretty long and you might not find shops nearby, which I learned the hard way! Keeping your energy up is key to enjoying the views.

Make sure to start your hike around 7 AM. That way, you’ll beat the crowds and enjoy a peaceful moment at the lake before it gets too busy with other tourists. It's worth waking up early!
Kundol Lake

I recommend visiting Kundol Lake on a weekday if you can; it's way less crowded and you'll get to soak in the calm and natural beauty

My advice is to start your hike early, around 7 AM... The morning light makes the scenery even more stunning, and it gives you plenty of time to explore before it gets too hot
