Attabad Lake
Attabad Lake is a lake in the Gojal Valley, Hunza of northern Pakistan that was created in January 2010 by a landslide dam.
On 4 January 2010, a massive landslide occurred at Attabad Village in Hunza Valley in Gilgit-Baltistan, 9 miles (14 km) upstream (east) of Karimabad.
The Attabad Lake is a glorious reminder that there can be beauty in tragedy.
Part of Karakorum Highway was submerged due to this landslide.
On 14 September 2015, Prime Minister of Pakistan performed inauguration of realigned 24 km patch of KKH containing five tunnels at Attabad Barrier Lake.
The seven kilometre long five tunnels are part of the 24 km long portion of the Karakorum Highway (KKH) which was damaged in 2010 due to land sliding at Attabad.
The realignment project is a construction masterpiece completed at the cost of $275 million.
The realignment restored the road link between Pakistan and China and it is expected that significant amount of trade will be conducted between China and Pakistan using it.
The KKH is also a part of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor and is expected to significantly increase economic integration between those two nations.
The best time to visit Attabad Lake is summer (June – August).
