Karambar Lake (also known as Qurumbar Lake) is a high altitude lake located in Ishkomen, a Tehsil of District Ghizer in Gilgit–Baltistan, near the boundary of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. It is the 31st highest lake in the world and 2nd highest in Pakistan at a height of 14,121 feet (4,304 m) and one of the highest biologically active lakes on earth.
One of the most amazing scenes that any tourist can find is that of a lush green valley giving way to snow clad mountains which are covered with snow the year round, and in the middle of that amazing valley, a lake which is aquamarine like a jewel glistening in the sun. This description fits the Karambar Lake exactly one hundred percent. This is one of the highest biologically active lakes in the world and it is the second highest lake of Pakistan. The Lake is one of the most amazing sights that tourists can see in Pakistan and many tourists take the time and make the effort to visit this astounding lake every year.Karambar Lake is situated in one of the most beautiful valleys of Pakistan, the Ishkoman Valley. The valley is located in the Ghizer District of Gilgit–Baltistan province. The elevation of the lake is 4,304 meters i.e. 14,121 feet. This makes it the thirty-first highest lake in the entire world and the second highest lake in the entire country. The location of the lake is in the Gilgit Baltistan area but is almost 205 kilometres away from the town of Gilgit. The deepest parts of the lake may go to the depths of 55m while the area of the entire lake is almost 2,634,400 meters square.The lake is a biologically active lake that means it will not freeze over, but the best time to visit the lake is when the season is open and there is no snow near or on top of the lake. This allows the lake to shine in its full glory. Almost all tours that go to the lake try to plan their stay in such a way that they reach the lake within the time window of 20th of June to 20th of August. However, recent seasons have changed a little bit and snow does not thaw until the end of May. So, it will be better to go to the lake between the first week of July and the first week of September.
