Attabad Lake, also known as Gojal Lake, is a stunning body of water located in the Gojal Valley of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. The lake was formed in January 2010 as a result of a massive landslide, which blocked the flow of the Hunza River. It spans approximately 13 kilometers in length and reaches depths of about 358 feet. The lake's formation resulted in the submersion of several villages and the displacement of locals, making it a fairly recent geographical phenomenon. Its turquoise blue waters are surrounded by imposing mountains, offering a breathtaking view and making it a photographer's paradise. Attabad Lake has rapidly become a tourist attraction, not only for its beauty but also for activities such as boating, fishing, and jet skiing. The Karakoram Highway, which is part of the ancient Silk Road, runs alongside the lake, adding to the region's historical significance. The area around the lake is also known for its pleasant summer weather, diverse wildlife, and cultural richness, reflecting the traditions of the native Hunza people.
