Phander Valley

Phander Valley is located in Ghizer District, Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan. It is portrayed as a serene and enchanting landscape, especially memorable for the author on a damp afternoon after the rain. The valley’s allure left a lasting impression, with its moist earth releasing a rich scent that mingled with the crisp mountain air. It is often described as the jeweled crown of Ghizer, a true masterpiece of nature. Its most striking feature is Phander Lake.

Nearby, poplar trees lined the roads, their leaves glowing under the orange hues of the setting sun, almost like rows of matchsticks catching fire. This poetic scenery made Phander Valley stand out among the many colorful sights the author had witnessed.
