Shinghu Lake
Ultra Turquoise
1 group tour0 rating
A half an hour hike across the large boulders, ahead of blue lake, lies this beauty, truly defining the landscape of Naltar. Shinghu lake is quite magical with its ultra turquoise colour and its pristine translucent stream joining the murky glacial melts from Pakora Pass, snaking through the Shinghu meadows is totally worth effort of a tiny hike.
