It is near Malika Parbat in the Himalayan range. Title: Re: Nature Beauty: The Aansoo Lake Post by: Khushi on April 06, 2009, 02:29:58 AM It can be reached by a difficult trek from Saiful Mulook Lake. The name comes from its tear-like shape (the Urdu word Ansoo means teardrop). The lake is said to have been discovered in 1993 by Pakistan Air Force pilots who were flying low above the area. Earlier, the lake was not even known to the locals.

Title: Re: Nature Beauty: The Aansoo Lake Post by: Khushi on April 06, 2009, 02:30:44 AM Unlike all other lakes (except some one) this lake is not located in a valley but on a peak top and is highest lake in the world. I have found it on Google Earth!
(http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l336/glamgalz/funzug/imgs/nature/aansoo_lake_04.jpg) This is The Kaghan Valley. Behind these peaks of "Malika Parbat" is The famous 'Saif-ul-Malook" lake. |
