Day 3 — Ratti Gali Lake
A long jeep-and-hike day up to the alpine Ratti Gali Lake, ringed by summer wildflowers, or the quiet run up to Taobat near the head of the valley. Overnight in the valley.

Good to know
- Rooms are shared on a same-family or married-couple basis; the Couple and Deluxe tiers get a private room.
- Carry your CNIC or passport at all times; some areas need it at checkposts.
- Mountain weather can change the plan; if a route closes we adjust it with you, we never just cancel a day.
- The high passes and lakes involve altitude, take it easy the first day and stay hydrated.
- Northern hotels are simple but clean; the mountains, not the marble, are the point.
