DUDIPATSAR Lake Trek June 2022 I Complete Guide I How to Reach & Night Stay I Naran Valley Pakistan


Dudipatsar Lake is the queen of lakes in the Kaghan valley at 3900m. Dudi means white or milky, pat means mountains and sar means lake. The lake is surrounded by peaks clad with snow, reflection of which gives the lake its name. The trail starts at a small village called Besal(3250m) and goes along the Poorbi Naar river(a tributary of the Kunhar river).

From Naran, it takes a couple of hours drive to Besal from where the trek starts. Naran Besal road is in good condition till Jalkhad beyond which it has some rough patches. Besal is not a town as such rather just a combination of few houses and a small hotel. The trek starts behind the hotel at Besal where one needs to cross the river . There is a pulley through which one can cross the river however it operates only during the months when bakarwal (gujjars) are in the areas. Bakarwals normally stay in the area from June – September. The trek ascends steeply at the start but becomes gradual after a couple of hours walk. The trek continues in the narrow valley along with the Purbinar stream for most of its length. From Besal, it takes 6-7 hours to reach Mulla ki basti from where the lake is a further an hour away. Before Mulla ki Basti the valley opens up and stretches itself with its green meadows. Trek from Mulla ki basti to the lake is extremely beautiful and gentle. At places, it resembles pretty much with Deosai plains. A lot of marmots also inhabit this area. Total trek distance from Besal to Dudipat is around 18 km.
