MANCHAR LAKE

Pakistan's largest freshwater lake, and one of the largest in Asia, is located about 20 kilometres from Sehwan. Lake Manchar was once famous for its diverse wildlife, but many fish and birds have now disappeared due to pollution and environmental degradation. In recent years, thousands of fishermen have left Manchar for lack of a decent livelihood, but a few still live on their wooden boats. It is possible to take a tour on the lake by motor boat (about 500 rupees). In the village, you can also observe the meticulous work of the fishermen who carve their boats.
