#KallarKahar is a town and subdivision of #Chakwal District in Punjab, Pakistan. It is the capital of Kallar Kahar Tehsil. This beautiful place is famous for the natural gardens of loquat trees, Salt Water Lake with beautiful species of peacocks.

Kallar Kahar Lake used to be a haven for migratory birds, however, I haven't witnessed any more migrating birds since 2012 due to one main reason: the lake now serves as a sewer for the town of Kallar Kahar, and that dirty water has repelled scores of species of birds that used to come during the winter months.

Emperor Babar described Kallar Kahar in his memoirs, the Takht-e-Babri, as a "charming place with good air". But now during the breeding season, literally pillars of mosquitos are formed above the lake, reaching out into the skies. The tourism department of Punjab has done nothing to cleanse the lake or make its environment cleaner.
