You will be familiar with the name of Rati Gali. This lake is considered to be the most famous and beautiful lake of Neelum Valley in Azad Kashmir.
By the grace of Allah, I visited this lake twice and in two consecutive years and both times I made this trip on my motorbike.
The first time it went to Cd70 in August 2020 and the second time in September 2021 to Cg125.
Most people go to see the beauty of the lake but my hobby is a bit of a hit.
I take less to see the lake and more to swim in it. And so far I have bathed in 3 to 4 lakes.
It so happened that we were standing on the side of the road talking.

I said if I swim across this lake you guys will feed me party. There was an uncle standing near me who was probably from Lahore. If you stand up, I will open your party.

I said Uncle G. I came here with the intention of swimming and you are saying just dip my feet.
Uncle smiles and says let's see your swimming too,
I quickly took off my shoes and jumped into the lake, all the people standing around taking pictures by the lake, all the cameras turned on me,
Everyone gave some or the other title, some called him crazy, some called him foolish, some called him brave.

And it was a work of bravery because the water was very cold, let's say half the water was half the ice.
Well, at least I didn't go down without explaining myself first.
After bathing in the lake for about half an hour, a large block of ice was floating in the water a little away from the shore, so some children said, "Uncle, take this ice to the shore. Please, we have to take pictures with it."
This task seemed a little difficult to me but my friends gave me courage and said that if you can do this then I jumped into the water again and pulled the ice towards the shore ...
The children were very happy and everyone was taking pictures with the snow.
As soon as I came out of the lake, my uncle came to me and hugged me and said, "Son, tell me where to eat."
I said, "Uncle, it's just you."
Later my uncle and his family took pictures with me and went back.

I agreed to go to Rati Gali twice and I took a hearty bath both times.
