Overview

Keenjhar Lake, also known as Kalri Lake, is Pakistan’s second-largest freshwater reservoir, located 122 kilometers from Karachi and 22 kilometers from Thatta. Built in the 12th century to supply water to Thatta, the lake is now a scenic retreat and a vital wildlife sanctuary. Its azure waters and surrounding greenery attract nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers, especially during migratory seasons when a variety of bird species, including ducks, geese, flamingos, and herons, can be seen. The lake’s rich biodiversity makes it a must-visit for those seeking to experience Pakistan’s natural beauty.

Beyond its ecological significance, Keenjhar Lake holds deep cultural value due to its association with the famous Sindhi folklore of Noori-Jam Tamachi. The romantic tale of Jam Tamachi, a ruler of Sindh, and Noori, a humble fisherwoman, adds a captivating cultural layer to the lake. Visitors can explore the legend by visiting Noori’s tomb, believed to be at the lake’s center, which has become a pilgrimage site for those honoring this love story. The folklore and local traditions surrounding the lake enrich the experience for both tourists and locals alike.

Keenjhar Lake is a popular weekend getaway for Karachi residents, offering a peaceful escape from city life. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities such as boating, fishing, and picnicking in the serene environment, or engage in water sports like jet skiing. Whether for its natural splendor or cultural significance, the lake provides a tranquil setting for relaxation and exploration, making it a favored destination for domestic and international travelers alike.
