Saiful Malook, is a mountainous lake located in the Mansehra district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, about 9 km (5.6 mi) at the northern end of the Kaghan Valley!

Mansehra

From Naran on Main Highway toward the end of the town, there is a street going on the right side encompassed by pine trees and that street leads to the lake Saiful Muluk. The road began climbing upward on the mountain with the beautiful scenic views in front. Because of frequent rains and running water from the mountains, the road to Saiful Muluk get destroyed every year, but now the government is constructing a concrete road till Saiful Muluk so that it can last longer. On one side of the road is the High Mountain range and the other side is the deep valley below, with the coursing river. We stopped at different locations to capture the scenic beauty of the area in our camera. http://karachitokhunjerab.blogspot.com/
