Nearly 8km from Naran and situated at the height of 10,578 feet (3,224 meters) above sea level, Saiful Muluk is the most beautiful lake in the Kaghan Valley. Offering splendid views of the Peak of Malika Parbat (Mountain) this lake is a water source for River Kunhar. We visited Saiful Muluk on 16th September 2015, the pleasant smell and the pollution free environment, make us feel that we are in some other world. The weather is sort of undefinable as the wind is cold and the areas where there are clouds and shade it feels very cold but at the area where the sun is shining it feels too hot. The water of the lake was cold, but we all were enjoying it very much. The water is too clear and reflection of nearby mountain seen in the lake is amazing, it feels like a huge mirror lying on the ground. http://karachitokhunjerab.blogspot.com/
From Naran on Main Highway toward the end of the town, there is a street going on the right side encompassed by pine trees and that street leads to the lake Saiful Muluk. The road began climbing upward on the mountain with the beautiful scenic views in front. Because of frequent rains and running water from the mountains, the road to Saiful Muluk get destroyed every year, but now the government is constructing a concrete road till Saiful Muluk so that it can last longer. On one side of the road is the High Mountain range and the other side is the deep valley below, with the coursing river. We stopped at different locations to capture the scenic beauty of the area in our camera. http://karachitokhunjerab.blogspot.com/
If you ask me what is my most visit place ever, that's Lake Saif ul malook. I have seen it when its frozen, i have seen it when its Aqua Blue, i have seen it in Early Spring and late Autumn. I have seen it in Fog, Rain, Snow , and saw it with Rainbows over it aswell. The beautiful lake is the most visited place in Pakistan.
