Attabad Lake
Attabad Lake, also known as Gojal Lake, is a stunningly beautiful lake located in the Hunza Valley of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region, known for its striking turquoise-blue waters and the dramatic story of its formation. Attabad Lake was formed in January 2010 as a result of a massive landslide in the village of Attabad, which blocked the flow of the Hunza River. The landslide, which was one of the largest in the region's history, created a natural dam, leading to the formation of the lake.
