Soon Sakesar Valley, explore beauty & nature

[faisal_here]

Sorry for the delay.

From Uchali lake we came back to Noushera and then from there headed towards Khabeki lake, road was not that good it took us around 40-45 min to reach Khabeki.

Uchali is huge, gigantic and salt water lake, Khabeki is regular water lake, not so big but seems friendly type of lake, with water touching the grass on edges

Where as the following are views at the back drop

Here is another good shot, there is some big mountain at the backdrop of lake

Some friends walking on the grassy banks

Then from Khabeki we started moving towards "Kanhati Bag (garden)", for this we first reached "Khabeki village/town", after crossing it, we took a road towards left and we continued our journey on it, this was the best route on our way, as the road gradually started to gain height and going into small hills.

One thing I will mention that the route to kanhati is though very nice, but i will NOT recommend it for travel after dark and families should travel in groups. As the area around is unpopulated (after some small towns). Even when we were going we felt we have lost our way, till the garden arrives.

On the way we found a place from where there were great views of Khabeki lake:

See the Khabeki lake and the valley in the back ground, very nice spot

So we continued on the "Road to Kanhati", this route is beautiful, the road is picturesque, it is like travelling in a vast land surrounded by small hills:

See the landscape, where else you will find this ?

So we kept enjoying the drive to kanhati garden, the road was snaking through the plain and after some time started going downwards, till we started passing through dense bushes and small tress on the side and then finally we reached the Kanhati garden.

Well the garden itself is though a good place, but the speciality is that it is famous for growing oranges in summer yes summer !!!, this experiment was started many years back (we were not aware of this at the time of visit else we may have got some

The REAL ATTRACTION in not the garden, but a pond with cascading streams of water, surrounded by white big rocks...almostr 1.5 km ahead of the garden, you have to go on foot, the road passes through a village i guess the name is "kanhati village" as the visitors MUST respect the privacy and respectability of the place

Here are some pics we going towards the chashma

And then the place arrived and we were overjoyed to see it

Bluesh green pond, in which water is coming from multiple gentle streams, and surrounded by big white rocks, and the pond was many small fishes also

The pictures can not do justice with it

[faisal_here]

Some more pics of the pond:

And with this we started our journey back, and took the route towards Kallar Kihar and motorway, a patch of 7-8 km was under constrcution and in bad shape.

We did not take the back route which we took while coming i,e, towards khushab as we thought that road which passes through salt range mountains may not be suitable for travel at night due lack of road lights and safety barriers, which we think is the right decision.

The purpose of this thread was to share the details and joy with you fellows, i hope you have enjoyed, and also to promote the valley for tourism, with a note that we should go to such places but MUST RESPECT The culture, privacy and environment.
