Ratti Gali Lake Adventure | 18KM Jeep Ride & 1-Hour Trek | Part 2
Hey fellow travelers! Welcome to Part 2 of my solo adventure to Ratti Gali Lake, an alpine glacial wonder located in the heart of Neelum Valley, Azad Kashmir. 🏔️ In this episode, I take you on the second leg of my journey, moving from Dowarian to the majestic Ratti Gali Lake-an experience filled with rugged terrains, thrilling jeep rides, and stunning scenery that you don’t want to miss!
📍 **What to Expect in this Vlog:**
🚙 **18KM Bumpy Jeep Ride**
Starting from Dowarian, I hop on a jeep for an exciting 18 km off-road journey through dense forests and steep cliffs. The track is bumpy and narrow, making for a thrilling 2.5-hour ride, but the views are worth it! 🌲 The road to **Ratti Gali Base Camp** is not for the faint-hearted, but if you love adventure, this part of the journey will keep you on the edge of your seat.
🥾 **Trekking to Ratti Gali Lake**
After reaching the base camp, it’s time for a 1-hour trek through alpine meadows and rugged landscapes to reach **Ratti Gali Lake**, which sits at an altitude of 3,683 meters (12,083 ft). The views along the way are stunning-crystal-clear streams, wildflowers, and the serene beauty of the towering peaks all around. 🌼🏞️
🌊 **Ratti Gali Lake - A Natural Marvel**
Once at the lake, I’m greeted by the crystal-blue waters of **Ratti Gali Lake**, which are fed by the surrounding glaciers. The calm, icy waters contrast beautifully with the green meadows and towering snow-capped peaks. It’s a moment of peace and tranquility, perfect for photography, drone shots, and simply soaking in nature’s wonders. 📸✨
