Borith Lake Hotel & Resort

About Borith Lake Hotel & Resort

Borith Lake Hotel and Resort is one of the most consistently praised places to stay in all of Gojal — a small, family-run boutique property set directly on the shores of Borith Lake, with views of the lake’s calm turquoise water and the surrounding mountain walls. The property has been built and operated with genuine care, and the motto ‘Enjoy the family hospitality’ is backed up by an exceptional volume of five-star reviews from travellers of all backgrounds.

Location & Setting

Borith Lake (2,600m) sits in a peaceful basin off the main KKH corridor, sheltered from road traffic and surrounded by the Karakoram peaks. The hotel is positioned at the water’s edge, and the top-floor rooms have large terraces with unobstructed views of the lake’s reflections and the mountains rising beyond. Evenings at Borith Lake are exceptional — the hotel offers a nightly bonfire, the stars at 2,600m are brilliant overhead, and the silence is complete.

Rooms & Facilities

The hotel has 18 rooms across Master Bed and Double room categories, each with private en-suite facilities, hot water, TV, and clean, comfortable bedding. The best rooms are on the upper floor with large terraces overlooking the lake. The hotel restaurant serves an excellent menu of local and continental dishes — multiple reviewers specifically praise the food quality and note standout items such as real filter coffee, porridge, and yak meat dishes prepared on request.

Adventures & Activities

The hotel is an outstanding base for trekking and outdoor activities. Short hikes lead to the Passu Glacier approach, Ghulkin Glacier, and both the Hussaini and Passu suspension bridges. The hotel arranges multi-day camping treks to Patundas Meadows and Talangshi Pasture — high-altitude grazing grounds with extraordinary panoramic views. The starting point for the famous Passu Glacier trek to Passu village passes directly through the property.
