Hunza valley contains around four huge lakes but one of them is very famous around the world is ATTABAD LAKE.<\/p>\n

In Jan 2010 a massive landslide created a giant lake by blocking the narrow Hunza valley with its river around Attabad. Attabad lake is about 20km in length and up to 100m (300ft) in depth, With the creation of this lake, more than 18 kilometers of the Karakoram Highway has been submerged, lost somewhere in the depths, suspending transportation by road. the only option is to cross the lake, reach the Hussaini Village, and get on the Karakoram Highway again.<\/p>\n

But Now the Lake has developed again and used as a tourist spot. The lake is used for boating, water sports, and fishing.<\/p>\n
