Lakes in Pakistan, a paradise beyond Imagination!

Pakistan is home to a large number of lakes and water reservoirs, Being a Scorpio and a water sign, I myself am a big fan of lakes and places full of water, I wanted to make a list of all the lakes of Pakistan and their pictures so that one can find them and visit them with ease! When I started compiling this list, I had no idea Pakistan would turn out to be so heavenly!
      It is said that in future wars shall be fought on basis of water but we are extremely thankful to Allah that he has blessed us with so many water reservoirs! Let's start!
