Dudipatsar lake from Islamabad
First of all, I'll tell you how you can access this lake. If you leave beautiful Islamabad early in the morning I would recommend you to stay in Besal for the night Because there are hotels and camping facilities And your hike starts from here.
Dudipatsar lake's distance from Islamabad is about 345 kilometers from Islamabad to the valley of lakes and waterfalls Naran is 280 kilometers and it takes around 6 hours. Islamabad to Mansehra takes 2 hours And Mansehra to Naran is another 4 hours.

Or if you are from another city like Lahore or from nearing Lahore you can come directly from Lahore as you won't need to enter Islamabad from the Lahore-Islamabad motorway. As Islamabad has worth visiting destinations as well and known as one of the most beautiful Capital cities of the world.

Besal to Mulla ki Basti trek
The complete track from Besal to Dudipatsar is about 18 kilometers. But I'll suggest that first hike the first 12 Kilometers, Stay in Mulla ki Basti and the rest 6 kilometers can easily be done the next day.

Mulla ki Basti's height is about 3,700 meters. Many travelers/hikers want to get done with 18 Km. in one day which is hard. I'd suggest that hike for 12 kilometers the first day and rest for the next day.
This is the way you can enjoy and spend time on the lake. There is a lift to cross the River Kunhar if you are lucky, you will get someone local to pull it for you but if you are not lucky, you have to pull the ropes yourself. Which can be hard for some people at the start. You are gaining altitude so hiking gets tough.
The beautiful thing about this track is you have clean drinking water everywhere. So you do not bother to get water with yourself you can drink water coming from mountains.
You will be too tired while hiking but I am sure you won't feel it because of its great scenic views and desire to see Dudipatsar lake Pakistan won't let you tired.
Things to verify before hiking
 |
| Mulla Ki Basti |
You will be seeing beautiful plain meadows with icy mountains covering them all around. You should have the company of your friends and family so this company will help most in this hiking.
If you are hiking for long, your journey is only pleasant until your shoes are free from water, and the time I was going to Dudipatsar Lake my shoes were sweat and I faced too many difficulties to hike.
So I would suggest, you should wear waterproof shoes as well as you should carry a pair along with you. You should make a list to carry with you on this hike and cross verify before leaving the hotel.
Lush Mulla ki Basti meadow
In Mulla ki Basti (Mulla's Village), you should try to catch fish there. It's fascinating to spend a night in the mountains if the circumstances are right you can be lucky to see the milky way up in the sky.
On the next day the morning time you will head towards Dudipartsar Lake It will take 2 hours from here.
Let me tell you one thing here you should try to sleep because with friends and family in such a beautiful area won't allow you to sleep and you try to live more and more enjoyable moments of your life. This is the most beautiful lake of all lakes.
Dudipatsar lake Naran
Let's see and experience it together. Dudipatsar lake Naran is right beside it. When you hike somewhere like this no matter how physically fit you are no matter if you are not in shape. But what I believe is that all you need is patience you don't give up, and you can do it.
This is the most amazing scene beautiful lush green meadows. The people and animals like horses etc. must be very happy here. This is a dream come true. You will be super excited to reach there.
Whenever you go hiking, gaining altitude, you are exposing yourself to the sun you definitely need a sunblock of some kind. It helps you protect your skin from burning, and it saves you from allergy and irritation. Sunblock is essential to keep in your backpack if you are hiking.
Things to do in Dudipatsar Lake
