The Khalti Lake....
About 15-20min drive from Gupis, formed due to a huge land slide, some 30 or 40 years ago. It is said that a whole village was swallowed by the river & there are many people who still remember the incident of lake formation. Some people even say that the unfortunate village is still visible in winter when the water is more clear or is frozen, but this is not authentic info. In the pictures, you can see the spillway of Khalti lake.
Again a trout paradise. Every summer a fishing competition is organised at this lake by Ghizer fisheries dept. It is said that there are some really BIG BIG fish in this lake that are threat for small fishes, so the competition is actually of catching the biggest fish. If I am not wrong, last year the prize was Rs. 1lac, & a person caught a fish weighing more than 40Kg.
