Banjosa lake

One of the oldest lakes in Azad kashmir known as banjosa lake. A perfect spot that attracts the crowd. Beautiful & ancient. Peaceful & a perfect place for family picnic. The beautiful bluish water & quick fast running motor boats on it are a huge cause of its popularity. Banjosa lake is a place which is worth visiting if someone visits kashmir. 

Banjosa lake is located just near the city of Rawalakot. From the twin cities it hardly takes a 3 hour drive to reach that everlasting destination. And as far as the roads are concerned they’re crystal clear. Now talking about the people over there so its another great experience because the people are much loving much caring and their hospitality is unquestionable. 

Here are some glimpses of Banjosa lake
