Naltar Valley Pakistan | Blue Feroza & Satrangi Lakes | Road of Naltar
Lush green valleys, white waterfalls flowing from the top Extreme beautiful lakes Tall Mountains and the water fountains flowing in between the mountains The name of this Naturally beautiful & prosperous area is Naltar Valley Today in Grip on Trip we are going to explore this beautiful valley Assalam-o-Alaikum, Presenting a new place to you in the new episode of Grip on Trip Right now I am standing in Nomal Valley, this valley is quite famous Because these noisy trucks pass through here the path to Naltar Valley starts from here there is a road on the left side of KKH, about 18-20 KM ahead of Gilgit Today we are going towards Feroza Lake Satrangi Lake and Blue Lake are close to each other As per locals, it is half an hour's track But it will be no problem for me even if it is 1.5 hour's track The good news I have to give you is that another truck has just passed by making noise It is said that this road is constructed near the Zero-point If it has been built then our distance has been reduced by one hour because it used to take 1 or 1.25 hour to go there, now you can reach there in 20 to 25 minutes It means 30-35 minutes reduced, this is a good thing Because we went there in Jeep like a ball That also becomes better now But locals told me there are few waterfalls on the road So, there may be some problems while travelling by bike No problem, my companion Baaz is with me, he will bring long boots for me He is a very good guy and listens to me The last time when I went to Satrangi Lake, I did not recommend it to families If you go there with your family, return on the same day Let's start our journey from Nomal Valley market The best news is that the road you see is now completely built It was a jeep track, there were so many potholes It was better till 1.5 to 2 KM and after that it was a complete Jeep track
Look, our hotel is so beautiful This is a newly built hotel, and the bathroom has a commode, newly built He gave this room to me for 2500 rupees Their rates are fine. No problem I am in favour of giving legitimate money, Look at this amazing view from the hotel These are Apple and Cherry trees And our hotel is at the corner of the Normal market Nomal Valley is a big district You can get all the basic necessities from its market From Nomal Valley to zero point, the journey is of about 15 KM It takes 40 minutes And the city of Gilgit is at the distance of 30 minutes from here 80% of the road is carpeted in this journey from Nomal Valley to Zero point only the last 4-5 KM are left uncarpeted But the road has been cleared in such a way that you can reach there even in your own vehicle I came here in 2019, at that time this powerhouse was about to be completed The electricity generated from here is supplied to Nomal Valley and surrounding villages Truly, this road is no less than a gift to us What could be better for a biker than having such a wonderful road Alhamdulillah It has been raining lightly in the night and in the morning also it was sunny after 11 am in the weather forecast. Always travel by looking at the weather in the mountainous areas In the beginning, the journey to Zero Point is a narrow path in which the waterfall is running along the road The mountains on both sides are close to each other Now not only has the road deteriorated but also the climb has become too steep Plasting has been done on this road because previously this path was not this much wide and opened Last year after the rain on Jaglot Skardu Road, landslide were often seen and many people were injured and even killed. According to local people, it is very important to clean the mountain from above after blasting Because often in blasting, stones are not completely broken and then slide during rainfall By the way, this road has been built for two years and soon it will be completed till Zero point as the work is going on.
We made a mistake because we had no idea if there was a petrol pump ahead or not There was a small petrol pump, and we took oil from there And now both the bikes are stalling while running and not getting power Because we are driving on first-gear engines becomes quite hot So, we give a rest to our bikes, we have almost covered a 12 KM distance 13 KM after leaving the hotel There was 15 KM mentioned on board for Naltar It means the Zero point is at 15 KM Our real journey will begin after that By the way, the sun has come out, but the rain has also started And even a light rain feels heavy while riding a bike, so I've put on a raincoat Now the Naltar Valley is just 5-6 KM away By looking at today's journey, I am leaving from Nomal Valley And our first stop will be Zero point This place is also known as Naltar Bala This is a small village, 15 KM away from Nomal Valley From Naltar Valley we will travel towards Satrangi Lake, Blue Lake and Feroza Lake All these lakes are close to each other We reached Naltar Zero-point and have cancelled the plan to go further on the bike I realized that we had made a mistake by going to Bashu on bikes It was so difficult, We can still reach there by bike but the lakes along the way would make a person wet Also because of the cold weather, I am taking a Jeep from here SubhanaAllah, what a beautiful view My friends who have not visited Pakistan much and go to Europe side more These people are requested to visit this place once What a beautiful point, right now I am standing at Zero point Pakistan Air Force mess is here at the front The ski resort is also here, and skiing is also performed here in winter This is a beautiful Valley but many hotels are being constructed here It is good that village people benefit from tourism Many people have come here to spend the night Our breakfast is going to become ready soon and then we will shift to Jeep In Jeep we will travel quickly, this is the reason I left the bike and opted for the Jeep We left Gilgit by drinking a milkshake Now at Zero-point, we really feel hungry Here are National breakfast dishes Eggs and Parathas are available The first time I came here at Naltar, I ate at the same hotel You have seen the food, the food here is absolutely average I always say that we guys work really hard to make travel vlogs I feel the biggest effort is we don't get food of our choice So, we travel by eating this type of food Therefore, Like, Subscribe, Comment, Share and Prayers Do you have black pepper powder? Yes Here whether you order Daal Maash or red kidney beans, they have both in boiled form They just add tomato paste, and some spices, cook for some time in oil and give it to you This system is prevalent here As advised by the locals here, don't travel further by bike Because in 2022, after a landslide this path really becomes very tough I hired this Jeep for 6000 rupees From Nomal Valley, Jeep charges are usually between 10 to 11 thousand rupees Our decision to take Jeep and leave the bikes was absolutely right Because as I told you we took the petrol from the agency Secondly, Our bikes could not climb these paths And now, seeing this path, we feel that our decision was absolutely right, Alhamdulillah Allah Ta'ala has made us make the right decision We parked our bikes at Naltar Bala While returning we will take our bikes from there and going down is comparatively easy By evening, this water often comes onto the road and then it becomes difficult to travel on water crossings It is better to travel by jeep Landslides have changed this area alot, many trees deteriorated in various places Now we are entering a small forest after travelling about 5-6 KM along the riverside I have been to Blue Lake before because the Feroza Lake track also comes from here After returning from these two lakes, we will visit Satrangi Lake Car dropped us here and we will roam around here by walk You can walk along the sides of the lake You will cover the entire lake in 20 minutes [Nasheed] Look at this, No editing has been done yet. I am showing you live clips from Blue Lake When you enter here, there is a shade on that side The colour of the water there becomes completely blue SubhanaAllah, I have seen this type of water in Shahi Bagh Not exactly the same but another shade of blue SubhanaAllah, what a beautiful lake The water is so clear that you can easily see the stones at the bottom This is a 360 view of this entire area Maybe you understand Again come to this tree You have to take care of food while trekking While you are here in the jeep, you can calculate yourself how long the trek is And how is the trek, so eat accordingly It often happens If 10 boys are going somewhere, one of them tries to become a doctor Once we were travelling towards Taobat, and one of our friends was not feeling well A man advised him that if you eat green pepper seeds, your health will be completely fine He took 8-10 green chillies seeds with Coke Then for the next two hours, he made maps of different Islands by taking his mouth out from Jeep But his health did not improve, and because of him, everyone else was also worried Such experience should not be done especially on Jeep trek Do not experiment with anything you have not used before So many families are coming here, but I noticed there is no canteen And the bathrooms have also been removed from here, I don't know who has made this decision There is no logic behind this There are so many ladies, What would they do if one needed to go to the bathroom? Children and boys can manage It would be best if you considered all these things before coming here, there is no washroom All the canteens, tuck shops and restaurants there have been demolished SubhanaAllah You can see how perfectly the mountain is attached to the Lake There is a huge rock ahead and a walkway next to it Some people were walking there I have been sitting here watching this scene for a long time Yes, I have seen the entire Blue Lake and its starting point is this spring. Water is coming out from here inside the ground. This is not a glacier lake, there is no snow here. I also show you the water
I have seen this point for the first time, where the water is coming out from the earth, bubbles are forming and the water is also flowing at a high speed, which is getting added to the lake. You can hear the voice This is the water that is being added to the blue lake Baaz is saying, he has not seen this type of water Although he has seen 12-15 Lakes in his life, but still says I have never seen such a color of water that is why it is called Blue Lake Now from Blue Lake, our journey to Feroza Lake is going to start Our car is standing in front, and there is 25 minutes hike for locals And an hour's hike for me, Let's go in the name of Allah because I am walking at the height of 13000 I didn't have to go, but now that I have come here, my heart wants to go there too So, InshaAllah going to Feroza Lake He is our guide, What is your name Ghulam Abbas, How many times a day do you go to the Feroza lake? 2-3 times How much money do you take? Some people give 500 rupees Some people even give 1000, and 2000 rupees And some people don't even pay We have come up about 20-25 feet One group is going ahead of us consist of around 12-13 boys, their guide is an old man We have to climb this Mountain from the left side It is good that we will walk behind them Although we have our own guide, it is good to walk with a group It's been two minutes since the track started and it's been two minutes since I've been sitting here It is 13000 ft above sea level I'm very out of breath I have told my colleagues that you go ahead and I will slowly come You do not wait for me I have a tip, when you hike in mountainous regions you feel short of breath So, try to breathe from the mouth, in this way, you take more oxygen inside Mouth breathing gets more oxygen in from the air as compared to nose. This is a small remedy That is why, I am breathing from my mouth and speaking as well About 75% of the track is complete, and InshaAllah we will be there in the next 15-20 minutes I think I'll just take two more breaks now, By the way, I took two breaks in between, but I didn't tell anyone about it Blue Lake and Satrangi Lake both are close to each other You can walk for 15 minutes to reach here Naltar is an extremely beautiful and diverse piece of land It gives you different views, all the lakes here are different from each other I have never seen a lake like Satrangi in all my travel career It is small but so beautiful But now all the tourist activities are ended, because people told me here that people used to fight among themselves over the business. Due to this the government has stopped all activities here The loss was that the washrooms were also removed from here and all the canteens as well
