Trek to Spin Khwar Lake and Izmis Lake. June 2014

[imarshad]

Finally we were out of the jungle..... Looking at the trek ahead of us... We all thought yes that's it..... It is the outlet of the lake and the lake is just behind those rocks but alas.....

After crossing the stream coming from the waterfall it was a very steep hike and walking on the stones.
