The government should take initiative to regulate boating and other water sport charges if they want people to come here and enjoy, instead of bargaining.Place was usually not very clean either. Tourism industry flourishes where people are courteous, friendly and welcoming.Would not recommend this as a full day picnic spot.
Beautiful place for a family picnic. Fresh fish and friendly people. Had an excellent experience.
Great spot for a day trip from Islamabad/Rawalpindi. Many recreational activities like Boating, parasailing, horse and camel riding along with a beautiful view. Fried fish available at the spot was exceptionally tasty. Recommended place for a family visit. One May have a visit to taxila museum and archaeological remains in the way.
Awesome Place... Here you see the beauty of pure water.. And a peaceful place for tourists
Really amazing place for tour water bikes boats racing boats swimming places wd life jackets must must visit in summer
Khanpur dam one of the most beautiful dam is constructed over River Haro which originates from Abottabad.It is situated near the town of Khanpur in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province around 48 km (25 miles) from the federal capital Islamabad, on Taxila Haripur Road.Every year a spring carnival is arranged at the Khanpur dam. This Khanpur Dam Festival attracts many tourists from Pakistan and from around the world and it has many colorful and attractive events to show off.For a day trip/picnic, it is an ideal place where you can enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, adventure, water sports, Skiing, angling, Spelunking, Night caving, Rock Climbing, Team Rappelling, Rap Jumping and watching migratory birds during winter.
The best place to go and enjoy open air, water and water related things like boating, jet skiing, paragliding. All is fun but unjustifiably expensive. Not suitable for swimming if fact swimming is completely banned.
Amazing place for outing, boating Rs 1000 and para sailing Rs 3000 for 4 mint ride,Amzing place for family outing, Food is not good,
Good visiting point. Some water spots available. Good scenic beauty.
There are many fun activities here including boating para sailing, para gliding and scuba diving etc.
The Blue-green water of dam attracts hundreds of tourists from all over the Pakistan. Every weekend thousands of tourists come to Khanpur Dam. Most of them are businessperson who take off from work on Friday – this crowd is joined by the employees of private and public sector organisations on weekends, Saturday and Sunday. Tourists enjoy swimming, boating, cliff jumping and couple of other ground adventure activities and taking a stroll on the banks of the lake and canals.
Great sport activities and entertainment
This place is very cool for the picnic
I had a good time over there.
Very beautiful very very beautiful much happy been today there.Boating is Quite standardized new international level boats are there and water scooters too on top pora Gliding also available which make me feel pleased.Food System and sitting is poor. Car parking were good.Over all much enjoyed
Jet skis, motorboats and para gliding. Not very expensive. Worth it.
A beautiful place for swimming, canoeing enjoying the beautiful mountains around!
Awesome fun n good lake environment n jetski,parasailing good...
Very peaceful and calm place for spending some quality time.
Visited this beautiful dam.. Enjoyed boating, eat fish, natural water storage point..... Water comes from mountains near by..
All the activities are there for a good price. A must go place. They have parasailing jet ski cliff jumping boats etc etc
Khanpur dam lake is a beautiful green blue water lake. Lake itself is beautiful and there are a number of sports and recreational activities also available. These include jet ski, motor boat and para gliding. Boating is very enjoyable on the lake.The lake is surrounded by hills and the view is very beautiful. The area is quite peaceful despite a lot of visitors on weekend.Cleanliness is an issue as on all public and tourist spots in Pakistan. People frequently litter and nobody picks up all the junk. Mostly at the banks of lake it is not a very clean site but if you reach relatively less crowded area of lake than you can find a clean spot.There are as such no public amenities. Only one or two small restaurants with tuck shops.If you take your food from home then it is a good picnic spot.The road to khanpur dam lake is single and relatively narrow but it is mostly in good condition.Overall its a good place to visit and pass few hours.
It lakes the facilities like quality hoteling and also its not ideal clean but does have some scenary and sights to be pleased with.
What a nice place

One of the Best places in Haripur for adventure sports and picnic for families.

Dam is one of the Beautiful lake of Pakistan, good for every type of Activity like boating, water diving, Parachute jumping, back side of dam is Damn good, best for Bbq and cooking, there are so many good restaurant here which offer every type of food, and also you can stay there, Lake view Hotel, Gandhara hotel and Mabali is one of them, if you want to beat the heat, there are also Cold Water Points, if you want to go, go spill way or Bhamala, Bhamala is Ruins of 5000 old city.

A good place for a picnic all boating ordinates king Jet skiing no good hotels are available so bring your own food if you want to enjoy its about a hour and a half drive away from Islamabad the road is ok also visit the Taxila historical sites that pass you by
The boat ride and the Dam scenery was worth the trip
Awla faboulus fantastic i love it...️️️️
Nice place for outing near Islamabad
Lovely place
The boat ride is fine but the pricing is so awkward and the need to bargain everytime is exhausting. The government needs to regulate activities at tourist destinations so that people are not being cheated.
The Dam Lake is kinda Beautiful and Amazing
Its a thrill for adventure hunt.
This is a good place,for picnic, bot riding,but not for swimming ,poor safety and sesurity measures.
Beautiful lake near Rwp/Isb. Good place to go with family. You can do watersports.It is underdeveloped. The parking is unpaved and there is garbage all around. But still is a good place to visit and enjoy natural beauty.
Wowwww so beautiful place.Enjoye with friends and family.
Beautiful place.. explore natureYou should go there ..
Comfort zone. Tension releasing point. Scenes ️

Khanpur dam very nice place
An awesome place with natural views
Nice place to visit for fun & recreation
Area around it is beautiful and full of discoveries. Dam itself is unique.
Very amazing place...
Good place for the water ride. Specially on water scooters and boats.no shadow available in the surrounding. Be prepared when you travel in summer.
Paragliding ka 3500 very expensiveBaqi boating ko enjoy kiya
Good place for outing
This is the best picnic place ever
Lake itself is good, however lots of attention by local administration is required to develop it as a good tourist resort. Food quality is pathetic in all respect eith it is taste, hygiene, pricing or service. No check on fair of boats and water scooters. There is no arrangement of safety/security of visitors what so ever. Not fit for family excursion.
Lack some of the basics facilities, but good place to visit to relax.
This place is beautiful....
Beautiful place and joyful views here. Shipping and bathing facilities are available here for tourists. Clean and blue water presents such a wonderful view in summer season. Refreshments are also available here. When you feel bored go there and see the natural views.
Loads of fun with buddies.It was beautiful to be there.Boating,Diving,Jet Ski make our visit unforgettable. Luv to go again.
One of best places in country for water sports, nice environment and reasonable prices,
