Khabikki Lake
Body of water in Punjab, Pakistan / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Khabikki Lake (Urdu: کھبکی جھیل) is a salt water lake, in the Soan Sakaser Valley[3] in the southern Salt Range in Khushab District, Punjab, Pakistan. This lake is formed due to the absence of drainage in the range.[citation needed] It is part of Uchhali Wetlands Complex and has been designated a Ramsar site.
