Shangrila Lake or Lower Kachura Lake is a part of the Shangrila resort located at a drive of about 20 minutes from Skardu (nearly 2,500 m or 8,200 feet) town.

It is a popular tourist destination, and has a unique restaurant that is built on the fuselage of an aircraft that had crashed nearby.

Shangrila was established in 1983 with the opening of the first Resort Hotel in Skardu, Baltistan. It was named "heaven on earth" because of its spectacular beauty,and breathtaking view and peaceful atmosphere. Shangrila Resort Hotel was founded by the late Brig.(Retd) Muhammad Aslam Khan, the first commander of the Northern Scouts who liberated the Northern areas in 1948.

  • Best spot for honeymooners and a peaceful getaway for any one you get to live in these huts which are ok, all the huts are surrounded with apple trees (I think it was apple or peach) You may watch the trout fish or even fish one or two (but u got to pay for it). All the huts centered by a nice lake you may enjoy lake ride in small boat.... so many other lakes upper and lower from this point. Try this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shangrila_Lake
