There are four major alpine lakes in Naltar Valley of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Known as Naltar Lakes (Urdu: نلتر) or Bashkiri Lakes, they are located at altitudes ranging from 3,050–3,150 metres (10,010–10,330 ft). The best time to visit the lakes is from May to October. During the winter, it becomes almost impossible to reach the lake by vehicle due to the heavy snowfall in Naltar Valley.
