Though it was our 2nd visit , but this time we have enjoyed alot
A very big lake and power Project on Indus river
I love this place In childhood we celebrated the eid holiday there but now a days only few people go there due to some reasons.
Chashma barrage is beautiful place to visit . Chashma hotel is only hotel to stay there. The view of chashma Hotel is superb and meal was good too, but staff isn't good enough to treat the guests. Staff of chashma hotel is very rude. I repeat very rude.
An amazing place where water and Green Plants makes a Wonderful combination of Nature.
Place is cozy peaceful and suitable for family lunch and breakfast. The place is surrounded by river Indus and its canals.
