These grassy plains are actually quite huge and it takes quite some time to move around the lake.

On the right side of the mountain in the middle (hidden in clouds) is Gattian Lake.

You can actually climb through this route and see Gattian Lake from above and come back.

Infact, we met few locals who were coming down from this route after seeing Sharda (as per their statement that Sharda is visible from the top)

Can anyone spot Hafiz sahib in this pic ??

enroute khabeki lake my evo was processing pw very good and live updates were from bilal, faraz and aamir bhai(waseem14pk) through my PW ID but at lake it denied to catch signals and secondly from khabeki to uchali,there might be some signals though but i was driving all the way long so was not able to attend the phone.
