At an elevation of 3,224 m (10,578 feet) above sea level, it is well above the tree line, and is one of the highest lakes in Pakistan.
Malika Parbat, the highest peak in the valley (el. 5,290 metres (17,356 ft) is near the lake. A fairy tale called Saif-ul-Muluk, written by the Sufi poet Mian Muhammad Bakhsh, talks of the lake.

The lake is accessible from the nearby town of Naran during the summer season but access during winter is limited.
Saiful Muluk was formed by glacial moraines that blocked the water of the stream passing through the valley.
The lake has rich eco-diversity and holds many species of blue-green algae.
Large brown trouts are found in the lake, weighing up to about seven kilograms.
