This is an old pic scanned pic of me at lake saifulmaluk, and I am pretty sure its from the month of June. It was really hard to get there at that time, with glaciers all over the place. I still remember riding on these horses on really thin and badly land slidden pathways so high above, and at the bottom you could see glaciers and streams flowing through! Quite a scary trek it was, but nevertheless what was to come was breathtaking indeed!
**Very Nice place, it was worth the 3 hr walk up to the lake................
would have enjoyed the pony ride too............Great Experience!

Re: Saiful Maluk
Sindsagar bhai, what month of the year did you go there in? In August, I heard you can actually walk all the way up, perhaps take jeeps.
Re: Saiful Maluk
It has changed a lot!!!!
thats enough snow in june. I went there twice, in september 2005, and now july this year. I must say it has changed a lot. Now you can even take a jeep in the month of june. They have abandoned the older trek, and the new one is wide enough that you do not hasitate at all
Nice pic, you were a kidoo back then : )
Re: Saiful Maluk
i heard that saiful-maluk doesnt exist anymore :S.. because after the earthquake the earth moved too much in that area and pretty much all the water has gone.. can anyone verify :S

Re: Saiful Maluk
asif bhai, nice pic man! is this pic from 1993-94? that's the time I went too, but I guess i was a chota back then. There were some Lahori guys there, probably your age, they had so much fun and kept everyone entertained. It was freezing cold and they went all the way upto the lake and started dancing to a song from back then called 'chandni, tu meri chandni'. Good ol times!
p.s. nice hats!

Yes it is from summer of 1993. I came to the U.S later that year.
We bought those hats from maal road in marree. We rented a jeep with a driver from Marree for Rs. 4000 and drove to Kaghan/Naaran stopping in the way at Nathya Gali, Abbot Abad, etc. There were lots of land/mud slidings in the way and we were stuck for hours and hours but it was all worth it in the end. We had to walk from Kaghan to Naaraan though because there was no way we could take the jeep up there.
All four of us still get together when I go back home. We were all childhood friends and grew up together but when I came to the U.S, it wasn't the same for them and they all split too. That trip will always remain unforgettable.
Re: Saiful Maluk
Rs4000 and all the way from murree to naraan !
Good old days 
Rs 12/13 per litre diesel hota hoga tab

Re: Saiful Maluk
Yaar old memories. Been there as well. I trekked 3 hours on foot both ways. Never went horseback or jeep. I even climbed up some of the glaciers. Did anyone check out the Naran ghaar near the Pine resort? And where the river flows underneath, beautiful.

Ji it was the end of July or Beginning of August.............was a while back during High School Days..........only thing I remember was the freezing cold water....could not stand in it for more than a minute!
Re: Saiful Maluk
usresident,i did check out tht cave on the left side of the main naran road..tht place was amazing..the way water has made it way and shape on the grass is amazing and mind blowing...unfortunately people have showed their backwardness as they have wriiten many stupid things in the cave...
I cant believe it has been over 8 years since i last made it there I hope to visit it again soon - probably on my visit to pakistan in summer nextyear Insha allh
Here is a pic which I took back in the day!

This is lake Saif ul Malook these days… I visited it on 21st July 2008
Well it is nothing as compared to the pic posted by you when saif ul malook was at the peak of its beauty in pure natural form:)
Re: Saiful Maluk
^ ure right, its changed quite a bit according to that picture. When I went in the early/mid 90s, it was clean, and there wasnt anything around it at all.

Re: Saiful Maluk
Nice pic spock.
I heard this snow melting thing is all across the Himalayas. Climate change maybe due to global warming.
