BEAUTIFUL KALLAR KAHAR



Kallar Kahar:-is a Union Council, subdivision, of Chakwal District in Punjab, Pakistan . It is known as a tourist destination and is located 25 kilometres southwest of Chakwal along the motorway. It is famous for its natural gardens, peacocks and a salt water lake. It is 125km away from Rawalpindi.

History:-
Lying 30 miles southwest of Chakwal on the Chakwal-Sargodha road, Kallar Kahar has always been renowned throughout the country for its peacocks and its fresh water lake and for the Takht-e-Babri, a flat stage built of stone by emperor Babar to address his army while coming down from Kabul in the quest of the crown of Delhi. During his stay at Kallar Kahar he also planted a garden, which still exists, called the Bagh-e-Safa.


Tourism:-
With the construction of the motorway that passes by the edge of the lake, the number of tourists visiting Kallar Kahar has increased manifold, and the town surrounded by verdant hills, promises to become a tourist attraction if properly developed. A museum of fossils of the area has also been built by the Archaeology Department in the District Council Rest House.
