Shingu Meadows
Crown of Naltar
1 group tour0 rating
A half an hour hike across the large boulders, ahead of blue lake, following the murky zig-zag stream, one ends up at these pristine meadows. Shinghu Meadows are quite magical, wide plains leading towards Pakora Pass, are more of a summer pasture for shepherds. Its murky glacial melts from Pakora Pass joining the ultra turquoise stream of Shingu Lake is a phenomena not be missed. The wooden log bridges must be crossed carefully, as its stream is quite dodgy hiding its depth with translucent waters.
