Discover Phander Valley
The jewel of Ghizer: a wide green valley where the Gilgit River winds in shades of blue, with trout in every pool.
Explore the peaceful west of Gilgit-Baltistan. The scenic road from Gilgit follows the river through Punial, Gupis and Yasin to Phander, where the water slows into still blue pools lined with poplars. Visit Phander Lake, Khalti Lake at Gupis and, further on, the quiet Handrap Lake.
Highlights

Good to Know
Absolutely. It is quieter, greener and gentler than the Karakoram, with fewer visitors and wide open valleys, which makes it a perfect second journey north.
