Moon, Sunlight, Snow and Mountains, view from Cedarwood Resort, KPK, Pakistan.
Nearly 8km from Naran and situated at the height of 10,578 feet (3,224 meters) above sea level, Saiful Muluk is the most beautiful lake in the Kaghan Valley. Offering splendid views of the Peak of Malika Parbat (Mountain) this lake is a water source for River Kunhar. 

We visited Saiful Muluk on 16th September 2015, the pleasant smell and the pollution free environment, make us feel that we are in some other world. The weather is sort of undefinable as the wind is cold and the areas where there are clouds and shade it feels very cold but at the area where the sun is shining it feels too hot. The water of the lake was cold, but we all were enjoying it very much. The water is too clear and reflection of nearby mountain seen in the lake is amazing, it feels like a huge mirror lying on the ground.
