Kachura is a very calm and beautiful village located in the Skardu district of Gilgit-Baltistan. The three famous lakes in the same area have been the center of tourist attraction for a long time.
Located at an altitude of 2,500 meters (8,200 ft), these lakes are Upper Kachura Lake, Lower Kachura Lake, and Zambakha Lake, which is in Zambakha, a village a little away from Kachura.
But among these three lakes, Lower Kachura Lake and Upper Kachura Lake are the most famous. These lakes are located in the Great Karakoram mountain range of the Western Himalayas, large areas of Kashmir, and the Indus River basin. The Indus River "Pakistan's Largest River" passes nearby at lower elevations. One can enjoy the view of the snow-capped mountains and can enjoy trout fishing, hiking, and mountaineering in the Western Himalayas.
There are two ways to reach the shore of the Lake, first you have to go from the Upper side of the Village, but it's a bit difficult even for me. Because many stairs were going down, more than 100 steps at a 70° angle, and of course it was impossible to reach anyone who has different abilities.
But on the other side of the Shore of Upper Kachura lake, we saw some cars were there, which means people with ♿ different abilities can reach there with their families and enjoy the mesmerizing view of Upper Kachura Lake.
We spent almost three hours there but didn't go boating because it was a little bit expensive for my budget. But I was so happy to see that they were fulfilling all the safety precautions for the visitors and for the people who were enjoying boating there like Life Jackets and an expert swimmer with them in every boat.
I don't know when I will be back in Skardu again,because like all big cities, Karachi has a fast life too. But I wish and pray from the bottom of my heart that I can be there one day again and spend a whole day there, to just sit and see the beautiful creation of the Almighty.
