Attabad Lake
Verified FeaturedAbout Attabad Lake
Attabad Lake was formed in January 2010 when a massive landslide blocked the Hunza River, creating this stunning turquoise blue lake over 5 years. The lake stretches over 21 km and sits at 2,638 metres above sea level in the Gojal region of Upper Hunza. The eerily beautiful blue water contrasts with the barren rocky mountains, and the submerged remnants of old villages add a haunting beauty. Boat rides offer views of colourful rock formations and the KKH tunnels built to bypass the blocked road.

The colour of the water is unreal!
Photos simply cannot capture how blue this water is. It looks digitally edited but it's 100% real. Took a long boat ride to see the submerged village — so surreal and emotional to imagine what was lost.
Highlight of our Hunza trip
Combined Attabad Lake with Hunza Valley in one trip. The lake is about 45 minutes from Karimabad on the KKH. Best visited in the morning before afternoon winds. Boat rides are very affordable.
One of Pakistan's most photogenic spots
As a photographer, I have been to many beautiful places but Attabad Lake's colour is like nothing I've seen. The rock formations in the background add drama to every shot. Magical.
