About
Keenjhar Lake, often referred to as Karli Lake, is a significant attraction situated approximately 36 kilometers from Thatta city in Sindh province, Pakistan. The lake offers scenic views and serves an essential function for the drinking water supply of both Thatta District and nearby Karachi City. The construction of a bund on its eastern side unified two lakes: Sonehri Lake and Keenjhar Lake to form what is now known as one large body of freshwater, spanning across expansive landscapes that are best admired during the cooler months from October through February when temperatures drop.
Tips
Visit the shrine of Noori Jam Tamachi located in the middle of the lake via boat. Avoid visiting during peak summer weekends as it gets extremely crowded.
