Need Guidance for Dudipatsar Lake and Ansoo Lake Trek

[umair.haleem]

Aoa Gurus, we have a group of 4 people willing to go to Dudipatsar Lake and Ansoo Lake in the first week of August. Kindly guide me with following queries:
1. Is it safe to go to Dudipatsar Lake? As there are some rumors about some security issues there.
2. How many camps are there in Mulla ki Basti and if we won’t get any camp there then from where we could rent a camp? Is it available in Naran bazar?
3. I have heard that one should get some sort of permission from authorities while going to Dudipatsar. Is it true?
4. Are the jeeps available at 6am from Naran to Saif ul Malook?
5. Kindly give the contact numbers of the person managing the camps in Mulla ki basti and of some hotels in Naran and Shogran.

Dear Umair, I have visited Dudi[patsar lake alast year and found very beautiful and extra ordinary place satuated in pak.
whole trekking and area is safe from basel(KKH) to Dudipatsar lake.
Mullah ki basti has about 14-20 camps and dudipatsar lake having 3-5 Camps for staying at night.
You should stay Basel in MOON RESTURANT and start your trak at 05:00am so that you can approach mullah ki basti at 12/2pm.
There is no need for permission to reach DUDIPATSAR Lake.
Yes jeeps are easily availabe in Naran at 06:00 am.
you can contact A Man keeping an eye to De manchi's hotel have contact number 0343-8946293
But approaching to ansoo lake is very dangerous and a lot of robber robbed tourists in the way of aansoo lake.

Thanks a lot man. I have heard about some robbery incidents at dudipatsar in past years but never heard about such incidents on the way to aansoo lake. Strange.

Dear Brother, aansoo lake, Makra Peak, Babusar Top Trekking outside the roads are very dangerous but Dudipatsar trekking is safe, i recommended you to hire a guide with horse because trekking is much difficult and i have trekked there about 11:30 hours then i reached to Dudipatsar lake.
Although there is much more beauty on the whole trakk but if you have no practice then it becomes difficult....

More over, see my profile pic.
It is also one of them in the collection folder of dudipatsar lake.
I highly recommended you that please visit Ratti Galli lake situated in neelum valley, Azad kashmir.
