Snow Lake (Pakistan)

Snow Lake or Lukpe Lawo is a high-altitude glacial basin in the Karakoram mountain range in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan.

Snow Lake is located 16,000 feet (4,877 m) above sea level and is approximately 10 miles (16  km) wide.

Conway described Snow Lake as "beyond all comparison the finest view of mountains it has ever been my lot to behold, nor do I believe the world can hold a finer.

The trek from Askole initially proceeds towards K2, then turns northwest up the Biafo Glacier to Snow Lake.

The descent differs from the ascent, going through the Hunza Valley and ending in Gilgit, from where a return to Islamabad can be arranged by plane or jeep.
