The peak's proximity to Alpathar Lake ensures a spectacular view from the summit throughout the whole year (be it summer or winter). The Apharwat mountain has a radically distinct appearance in the summer and the winter. The winter perspective will offer you the snow-whitey aspect, whilst the summer view provides you more opportunity to appreciate its lush green surrounds.

The majestic grandeur of the soaring hills is reflected in the motionless lake's surface. The lush surroundings only serve to enhance the entire postcard-worthy scene.
