When people claim that Pakistan has the most amazing northern areas, they are actually referring to places like Astor.  With beautiful greenery and gorgeous skies, unrealistically high mountains that cut right through the heavens are a specialty of Astore.

This area, which is easily accessible by car from Gilgit, has plenty to satisfy visitors. From the most active and determined travelers to families with children of all ages seeking to take in some sights and spend the best time on their vacation can visit Astore.

Astore Valley AKA the Historical Paradise

The valley’s scenery is breathtakingly beautiful and rich in geographic multitude and contrasts, providing the adventuresome visitor with a wide range of trekking opportunities and the possibility to indulge themselves in a cultural heritage that few visitors have ever been to able to discover.

This would take a long time to explore the valley completely due to its vast size. According to several locals, you should go to Deosai Plains, Rama Lake, and Rupal. However, while these locations offer the beauty of nature, they are often the most commercialized since local visitors around peak season overrun them.

As a solo tourist and seeker of real-life experiences, I believe that the commerce route that joined Gilgit-Baltistan with India has been the most intriguing journey.

For ages, this road served as a trade link connecting Gilgit and the Kashmir area. The Gibians traveled to Srinagar (the capital of Kashmir) to study and buy a broad range of things, including the famed Kashmiri textiles.

It is a 120-kilometer-long valley with a 5,000-square-kilometer size in northern Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan province. The valley is located on the eastern slope of Nanga Parbat, an 8,125-meter-high peak known as the Killer Mountain because it is regarded as among the most challenging mountain range to climb.

Places to Visit in Astore

Minimarg

The finest location to visit; it truly is paradise on Earth. We recommended that you visit at least once in your life. Because of the border, you must obtain army clearance at Chillim Chowki to access Minimarg. Because the road conditions are bad, try to hire a decent 4×4 Jeep. Secondly, you can’t appreciate the scenery along the route while you’re driving. If you’re coming for the first time, it’s a good idea to bring a guide and have your documentation with you at all times.

Rama Meadows

Rama is among the most wonderful sites in Astore to explore. Rama is regarded as one of Pakistan’s finest and most stunning fields. Rama Meadows is ideal, with beautiful green meadows, alpine trees and plants, a clean lake, and mountainous scenery.

Rainbow Lake

Rainbow Lake is a beautiful lake with a lot of charm. Rainbow Lake is surrounded by freshwater streams from neighboring mountains and boasts crystal water that changes colors from turquoise to green throughout the day. The lake is renowned among trout fishermen because it has large brown trout fish.

Fairy Meadows

Fairy Meadows is home to spectacular waterfalls, streams, and breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding mountains. You’ll need to take a jeep from Raikot Bridge to go to Fairy Meadows.

After a time, the road that goes to Tattu village becomes extremely narrow, necessitating the assistance of a professional driver. After an hour of driving, the jeep route will come to an end about a kilometer ahead of Tattu village, and after that, one would have to walk. The paradise is another 1.5 to 3 hours walk.

Astore is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and there is plenty to see. You can easily find the best Pakistan tour packages online, and you can travel to Astore to see the beauty up close.
