Banjosa Lake, Reservoir in Poonch District, Pakistan

The artificial lake sits at 1,981 meters above sea level, surrounded by dense pine forests and mountains in the Azad Kashmir region.

The water reservoir underwent reconstruction efforts led by contractor Shoukat Hussain, enhancing its infrastructure for the Poonch District community.

Local families gather at the lake throughout the year for traditional picnics and social gatherings, maintaining community connections in Azad Kashmir.

Visitors can access the site via a paved road from Rawalakot, with multiple accommodation options including rest houses maintained by the Tourism Department.

During winter months, temperatures drop to -5°C, transforming the lake surface into a natural ice skating platform for winter activities.
