Lake Ansu


Lake Ansu is a high-altitude lake (elevation 13,540 feet or 4,126 metres) in the Kaghan Valley in the Mansehra District of the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan. It is near Malika Parbat in the Himalayan range.We started treking to reach Ansoo Lake from Mahandri, which is 40 km below Naran, but this is a less trod route and the difficulties are unknown. The name "Ansu" 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.
