The Kachora Tso Lakes (Urdu: کچورہ جھیل) are three lakes in the Skardu District of Gilgit-Baltistan, northern Pakistan. The lakes, at 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) in elevation, are Foroq Tso (Upper Kachura Lake) and Lower Kachura Lake.[1] The latter is also known as Shangrila Lake and is within a tourist resort named Shangrila Resort outside the town of Skardu. Another lake called Zambakha Tso (Lake) is situated in the small village Zambakha adjacent to Shangri-la. The lakes are in the Karakoram mountain range of the western Himalayas, the greater Baltistan Region, and in the Indus River basin.
