Ansoo Lake Story

According to legend, there was a prince named Saif ul Malook, who fell in love with the fairy princess. Because the union between fairies and humans was not allowed and the prince was forced to endure a series of tests and trials for twelve years before the time he was allowed to be married to the fairies.

However, there was an antagonist in the tale as well. A giant named Duo Safaid (the white giant) was also in deep love with the fairies. He couldn’t be bothered by the thought of getting married to anyone else and ended up abducting her. Unfortunately, there’s no stopping love, and regardless of how much the big guy did the fairy would never stop admiring the prince. In anger and jealousy, the giant started to cry, and due to an unrequited heart, and sincere love, this gorgeous lake was born. Once you’re acquainted with the fascinating story of this lake you are likely curious about how you can get there.
