Karambar Lake (also known as Qurumbar Lake) is a high altitude lake located between Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit–Baltistan in Pakistan. It is the 31st highest lake in the world and 2nd highest in Pakistan at a height of 14,121 feet (4,304 m) and one of the highest biologically active lakes on earth.he lake is also known as Qurumbar lake in some references and alternately is spelled as Karomber.
Source:The exact location of the lake is disputed with WWF Pakistan in previous studies giving the location in Ishkoman, a tehsil of Ghizer District in Gilgit–Baltistan.While some other studies by WWF mention the location in Baroghil Valley of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province. The lake is located at a distance of 205 km from Gilgit. Some maps clearly show that the entire span of lake is situated within the borders of Gilgit–Baltistan. In addition to that, the flow of Karambar waters itself dims the confusion about lake's location as lake flows down towards Ishkoman.
