 Best time to Visit Karakul Lake
May to late September are the best and often the only months as winters are cold and the road can be affected by snow. Even in the summer it is cool up here (the photo above was taken in mid-August - note the snow line!)

Best reason to visit
The lake is a stunning spot on its own but the journey getting there along the Karakorum Highway is as much the reason as the destination itself. A truely spectacular drive.

Our last word on Karakul Lake
The trip along the Karakorum Highway to Karakul Lake (and beyond) is one of China's better kept secrets and a far cry from the sights in the south and east of the country. A must for scenary lovers.
