[3] The Naltar Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area in the valley that was established on 22 November 1975.
Fraxinus, Olea, Pistacia, Sageretia, Betula, Salix, Populus, and Krascheninnikovia ceratoides are among the trees that are found.
A few Astor markhor and an endangered species of wild goat lives in the reserve.
Almost 35 species of birds have been recorded in the valley, including Brooks's leaf warbler.
It is almost impossible to reach the lake through any vehicle in winter due to the snow (10 to 15 feet high) on the road.
