00:00English poet John Keats says,
00:09Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.
00:24Today I am looking for an unheard melody.
00:28In search of an unseen lake.
00:31Which is beautiful and beautiful at the same time.
00:43It is said that reaching the destination is tiring.
00:47I have heard that some paths are more beautiful than the destination.
00:51This famous lake-like paradise called Rainbow Lake
00:54and its divine path bless both eyes.
01:10All the beautiful views I have seen while living in Pakistan,
01:13one of them is behind me.
01:15We are getting down from Burzil Top.
01:18Minimarka village is in front of me.
01:25If you are going to Switzerland, just see this.
01:39Assalam o Alaikum. This is a new episode of Grip on Trip.
01:41I am at the most beautiful spot of Astore Valley, Rainbow Lake.
01:45This mountain has become a symbol of Astore.
01:49It is an emerging point.
01:51It was a must-visit place for me in Astore series.
01:54We had to wait for a whole day to reach here because
01:57it was raining yesterday.
01:59We were late in Chilam so we waited for tomorrow.
02:02Alhamdulillah, we have reached in 2 hours.
02:04We will show you our journey from Chilam Chowki,
02:07cross Burzil Top, see Minimarka and reach Rainbow Lake.
02:10Stay with me.
02:16Chilam Chowki, Burzil Top
02:29The journey from Chilam to the most beautiful place
02:32of Pakistan is about to begin.
02:34First, let's talk about the way to reach this lake
02:37because this area is restricted.
02:40If you want to spend a night in Minimark Domel,
02:43you have to book a hotel first.
02:45You can book a hotel through a local driver.
02:48Chilam Bazaar has boards of hotels and tent villages.
02:52If you want to return on the same day,
02:55you can get permission from the army check post
02:58before 11 am.
03:00To get permission, you need to have an ID card.
03:25Allah has made spies a part of human nature.
03:30This quality forces them to know about the environment
03:33around them.
03:36I have heard a lot about this journey.
03:39I have waited a lot for it.
03:50We reached Chilam from Astore.
03:52Chilam is about 2 hours away from Astore.
03:55It is about 55 km away.
03:58The road is good. You can reach here in any car.
04:02There are 2 ways from Chilam.
04:04Shosar lake is 18 km away from here.
04:07Our destination is Minimark Domel which is
04:10about 50 km away from Chilam Chowk.
04:13It takes about 2 hours to reach here.
04:16We have paid Rs.16,000 for the jeep which
04:20is taking us to Rambo Lake.
04:27There are 2 ways from Chilam Chowk.
04:29One goes to Deosai and the other to Minimark.
04:33You need a 4x4 vehicle to go on this journey.
05:00If you are on a bike, it is necessary to have
05:03a bike engine of 150cc.
05:05A bike with less than 150cc is not allowed
05:08to enter Chilam Chowk.
05:24The beginning of the journey is beautiful.
05:28There is greenery everywhere.
05:32Most of the jeep journeys in Pakistan are difficult
05:35because jeep is driven only where a normal vehicle
05:38is not allowed to go.
05:40The situation is different here.
05:42The road is good and you can reach here in any car.
05:57I had heard that this is the most beautiful journey
06:00of Pakistan.
06:01It seems to be true.
06:06We have passed the first check post.
06:08We were given 2 passes, one in Burdil Top and
06:11one in Minimark.
06:13The jeep has started climbing so I have gone to
06:16get cold water in the radiator.
06:27The journey from Chilam to Minimark is 15 to 18 km.
06:40The first stop is at Burdil Top.
06:46Coming to this pass is an honor.
06:49It would be a trophy picture to take a picture here.
06:53We have reached Burdil Top.
06:55You have to get your entry and one of the 2 passes
06:59will be given to you.
07:01Alhamdulillah! It was a beautiful journey.
07:03We will start descending.
07:05We are standing at the top.
07:07Minimark village will come first.
07:24After Burdil Top, the road will continue down.
07:27The next 20 to 25 minutes journey will pass like this.
07:30The view of this valley is beautiful.
07:33You see natural wonders until you reach the ground level.
08:03Drone is prohibited in this area otherwise it will
08:10be covered by a drone.
08:13After a long journey, I could see simple houses of
08:16Minimark village from a distance.
08:18It was time to reach there.
08:23All the beautiful views I have seen in Pakistan,
08:26one of them is the best.
08:29We are descending from Burdil Top.
08:32We have reached Minimark village.
08:34Subhan Allah! What a beautiful view!
08:48Minimark village used to be a route of Dilgit-Srinagar.
08:52Many battles have been fought for this village
08:55after partition.
08:58People of this village are simple and
09:00friendly.
09:02The height of this village is 9,300 feet from the sea level.
09:17The strategy of this area is very good.
09:20There is a way to Kargil from here and
09:23a short cut to Bandipora is also from here.
09:31This is the last entry point of Minimark.
09:34It is 15km from here to Dumail.
09:37It is 1 to 1.5 km from Dumail to Kirembole.
09:41The road has become rough after this point.
09:47How long is it safe from a blind man's vision?
09:51This is the last entry point of Minimark.
09:55How long is it safe from a blind man's vision?
09:59Here you can see life in its natural environment.
10:13The real beauty of the road is these silent
10:16green mountains which do not let you feel the
10:19difficulty of the road.
10:26The road to Dumail after Minimark is more beautiful
10:29than the previous journey.
10:31The drainage from the heights of the mountains
10:34are crystal clear.
10:56You can see nature at every step of this journey.
11:00You keep moving forward glorifying Allah.
11:25I thought this was a 44-48km journey but it is a 55km journey.
11:44First we reached Burdil Top, then Minimark and
11:48then 16km of this road.
11:51It took us 2 hours to cover 55km.
11:55It took us 2 minutes to reach Burdil Top and
11:592 hours to reach Minimark.
12:24The road to Burdil Top is more beautiful than
12:27the road to Minimark.

13:29starting from 150 CC.

13:35Chilam, Dumail and Minimark.
13:38You can book a private hotel and come here.

13:44stay overnight.

13:49Otherwise, jeep will charge Rs.16,000 and
13:52TX will charge Rs.18,000.
13:55Model TZ will charge Rs.20,000.
13:57It was raining yesterday and it stopped at 12 PM.
14:01We had to return on the same day and I had not
14:04planned to stay overnight.
14:06That day was wasted and we had to spend the
14:09whole day in Chilam.
14:11Facilities in Chilam are very basic.
14:15You have to carry your own things.
14:18There is a good hotel here.
14:20It is a limited hotel and if there is a little
14:23rush, it gets full.
14:25When we reached Chilam, it was difficult for us
14:28but by God's grace, we got this room.
14:30It was written on the room we saw earlier that
14:33it was a clean and beautiful room.
14:35There was a lot of mess there.
14:37There is a lot of issue of cleanliness in Chilam.
14:40There is a must-do picture on the bridge.
14:43We will roam around after that.
14:46We did not have breakfast.
14:48Let's ask the cafe if we can get a sandwich.
14:53Let's go.
15:10There is a beautiful bridge on the backside of
15:13the cafe behind the lake.
15:15Small drains are merging here.
15:17Let's explore this area.
15:19You can see the beautiful trees going upwards.
15:24We are going downwards.
15:32Subhan Allah! What a beautiful view!
15:35It is interesting that there are no stairs.
15:49Beautiful!
16:16Switzerland.
16:19Switzerland.
16:21Switzerland.
16:23Switzerland.
16:48I am sitting on this bridge for quite some time.
16:51It gets cloudy sometimes.
16:53It is a beautiful view.
16:55There is a lake on the other side.
16:58It is easy to reach here.
17:00You can reach here in 2 hours.
17:03There is a bumpy track in the middle.
17:06It is more than half way.
17:08There is an F-cum and U-cum.
17:10U-cum is at the top.
17:12I like the nature of Khanderi.
17:14I like it very much.
17:16You can fit yourself here.
17:18Nature is dependent on you.
17:36You cannot take a bath in the lake.
17:38It is quite deep.
17:40It is about 10-12 feet deep.
17:42That's my idea.
17:44Fishing is not allowed here.
17:46Keep area clean.
17:48That's all.
18:03This is a room.
18:05It is a sun room.
18:07You get a view of the whole valley from here.
18:10You can sit here and have a delicious meal.
18:13Amazing!
18:16Let's go.
18:29It takes 24 hours to cover the speed of the city.
18:37Give some time to these places.
18:40You spend money and come here.
18:42You don't sit here for half an hour
18:44and take pictures and leave.
18:46You should absorb this ambience.
18:48I think this silence removes the noise
18:51and noise from your mind.
18:54If you spend 5-10 minutes in nature,
18:58it heals you.
19:02For me, it is healing tea.
19:08All the money is spent on this mountain.
19:12It is very beautiful.
19:14There is a white glacier on the left side.
19:17It has melted.
19:18There is one on the right side.
19:20If there was one on the left side,
19:22it would have been a great symmetry.
19:34I have found this view very beautiful
19:37along with the lake.
19:39The sky is green and lush with water.
19:42Subhan Allah!
19:44I have found the cleanest washroom
19:47after my home at Zimbo Lake.
19:50There is a WC and a commode here.
19:53I am very happy.
20:00I had kept this shirt carefully.
20:02It was yellowish.
20:03They will make a contrast with green.
20:06The sun has become top light now.
20:09I don't know whether it is visible or not.
20:11We had chips and tea.
20:13We were told that it will take at least
20:161 hour to reach Zimbo.
20:18It will take more time.
20:20There is not only the beauty of this lake
20:23but also the meadow on the left side.
20:25There is a restaurant ahead but it is closed.
20:28We went there but came back because
20:30of the whistle.
20:32We are the first ones to reach Zimbo.
20:35Our jeep started at 7.40 am.
20:37The small tree on the left side of the lake
20:40is the Pakdandi.
20:43It is a 10 to 15 minute trek.
20:45There is a crystal lake behind it.
20:47It is very small.
20:49Do visit it if you want to.
20:51He is from Peshawar.
20:53He is a subscriber of Grip on Trip.
20:55He says we will come to see it first
20:57and then we will bring the kids.
20:59You could have decided it if you had
21:01watched my vlog.
21:02We were lucky to come early in the morning.
21:04It is getting crowded now.
21:06That's all program has started.
21:09This lake is also called Jaldiram Lake.
21:12I have told you about the entry scene.
21:15It is very easy to come here with family.
21:18It is a family place.
21:20Since it is under army control,
21:22cleanliness is taken care of here.
21:24You can't litter here.
