In Dec 2006 i went for a Pakistan Tour from Karachi to Peshawar by road.
In that trip i visited many cities n places.
Took thousands of pics. so its not possible to post all pics covering many places just in one Topic. thats why i have divided that trip in different sections n will post each section independently to show u guys every possible detail of the visited places.
Each section contains many pics. i hope u guys will enjoy.
Now these r the pics of Khanpur Dam Trip.
(all pics r reduced in size & quality)
KHANPUR DAM
Khanpur Dam has been constructed in a narrow gorge on the Haro River. It is a multipurpose project which supplies drinking water to Islamabad and Rawalpindi and irrigation water to NWFP (110 cusecs) and Punjab (87 cusecs).
Khanpur village, from which the dam derives its name, has been submerged by the reservoir, so a new Khanpur town has been built downstream of the Dam. The dam is 167 feet high and stores 106,000 acre feet of water. Construction was started in 1968 and completed in 1983 at a cost of Rs.1,352 million.
Location:
This beautiful lake/dam is 48 km from Islamabad on Taxila-Haripur Road. It is an ideal place for day trip/picnic, boating, angling and watching migratory birds during winter.
