Ratti Gali Lake is a high altitude (3700m) alpine lake situated in Neelum valley of Pakistan. In the summer season, the whole area around this mesmerizing lake becomes a spot of lush green meadows, wild and magnificent flowers and radiant alpine plantations even though in winter this valley is covered with white snow and massive chunks of Glacier floats in the dark blue magical water of Ratti Gali Lake like large swans. In winters lakes remain frozen from November-April. Sunsets and sunrise over Ratti Gali lake are the most amazing ones.
