Explore More About Khanpur Dam:
Khanpur Dam is a dam located on the Haro River in Khanpur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa about 50 km from Islamabad. It forms Khanpur Lake, a reservoir that supplies drinking water to Islamabad and Rawalpindi, and irrigation water to many of the agricultural and industrial areas surrounding the cities. The dam was completed in 1983 after a 15-year construction period.
The blue-green water of the dam attracts hundreds of tourists from all over Pakistan. Every week, between 40,000 to 50,000 tourists visit Khanpur Dam. Tourists enjoy various ground- and water-based activities, such as Cliff jumping, Jet skiing, Family boating, Kayaking, Zip-lining, Camping, and Waketubing.
There are several excavated Buddhist archaeological sites nearby that also attract local and foreign tourists. Sculptures and heads dating back to the second to fifth century AD have been discovered during excavation at Bhamala Buddhist Complex near Khanpur known as Bhamala Stupa. During excavation, precious coins of the Kushan period were also found around the stupa.
Bhamala archaeological site had been declared a national and world heritage site located near Khanpur dam. The ruins date back to the fourth century BC. The stupa is cross-shaped and looks like an Aztec Pyramid.
The deserted Rajgan Mosque, locally known as the "Rajon ki Masjid", is believed to be over 100 years old. It is now only used for Eid prayers, as people use the newly-constructed mosques in the nearby areas for everyday prayers.
Awesome place to have fun with the family. If you enjoy water activities, this is the place for you with minimum cost.
