Koramber Lake — A Love Story of Dreams, Struggles & Blue Magic 💙

Описание: After 5 days, countless climbs, mud traps, and broken bridges, we finally reached Koramber (Qurumber) Lake—a mirror of the sky tucked beyond Lashkar Ghas / Broghil side of Chitral. This vlog is a love letter to grit: the push after the last push, the laughs with friends, and that moment when crystal-blue water makes every hardship worth it.

Why watch: raw off-road biking, high-altitude serenity, real talk about difficulty, and the pure joy of arriving. If you’ve dreamed of riding to the ends of Pakistan, this one’s your sign.

Route (series context): Islamabad → Garam Chashma → Mini Deosai (Lashkar Ghas) → Koramber Lake (bike + hike mix).
Terrain: rocky single-tracks, water crossings, steep / bumpy climbs, soft mud.
Altitude: high (above 4,000 m) — expect cold water, thinner air, and fast-changing weather.

Travel notes & tips

Best season: late May–Sep for greener meadows; shoulder season can be dry/brown but peaceful.

Permits/check posts: keep CNIC, cooperate with locals/authorities.

Pack light but warm: layers, waterproofs, gloves; protect electronics from water crossings.

Ride strategy: carry momentum on climbs, scout alternate lines around mud, cross bridges one at a time.

Leave No Trace: bring back every wrapper; respect yak herds & local communities.

Team & local heroes

Riders: Tahir, Saud, Imran, Janjua, and yours truly.

Guides: Taj & Gul Nadir (legends on these trails).

Shout-out: Junaid for on-road wisdom and shared footage when cards went missing.

Gear (selection)

Dual-sport / commuter bikes with off-road tires

Basic tool kit, tire repair + air pump

Action cam + ND filters, drone (handled carefully in winds)

Compact stove for tea at the lake 😄
