Upper Kachura Lake, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan

5.0 (50 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #2 in Skardu Bodies of Water

Visit to Upper Kachura

It has been twice that i visited this place and everytime it gave an unforgettable experience. A beautiful lake, preserved its natural beauty as it is, gives one of the most scenic views that one may have experienced. Boating is one of the main activities. Complete boat can be booked for 2000 rupees (around $15). A place called Nazara Hotel is just a small hike away from lake. Its peaceful ppace which serves the trout fish. Fish and view of the lake is the prize of this hotel that is worth every penny.

    Nice once you are there!
    Nice views of Upper Kachura Lake, Can get a boat ride, different boats had different prices, I think I paid 3000 Rs for ours. A small walk from the car park, through a small cafe with a very poor, dirty toilet. Then some steps downhill (no sides/barriers) and so quite worrying. People struggled to go down and even more coming back up. The views when down are beautiful and a nice boat ride too. Very small area to sit and enjoy the views. Some people jumped into the lake for a swim. Not too far from main Skardu

    Upper Kachura
    A peaceful lake, indeed. We visited last year in season. There are two main lakes in the Skardu, The Upper Kachura and Lower Kachura. The Upper Kachura Lake is the most unexplored by tourists. Lower Kachura Lake is the more visited out of the two, with tourists visiting all year round.
