Lulusar Lake is a high-altitude lake on the Naran–Babusar road, one of the signature places to visit in Naran when you continue toward Skardu. Clear water, alpine meadows, and the pass wall behind it are the usual photo stop after Batakundi.

It is included on Standard, Deluxe, and Luxury 6 days Skardu tour by road day 2 (and again on the return). Weather at this elevation changes fast — PTG drivers time the stop around wind, cloud, and remaining daylight to Babusar Top.
