Katas Raj Temple
The Katas Raj Mandir (کٹاس راج مندر) is a Hindu Temple located Katas of Chakwal District in Punjab. The temple was built during the reign of Hindu kings in the region - several temples were built around 900 years ago or more, although the earliest of the Katasraj Temples dates back to the latter half of the 6th century A.D. Scholars believe that most of the temples were actually constructed when the Shahi Kingdom, driven from Afghanistan when their ethnic cousin Mahmud of Ghaznavi came to power, fled to the region and set up base there. The site consists of several buildings built dedicated to Lord Shiva and has apparently existed since the days of Mahābhārata. Many legends are associated with the temples, some of them involving Shiva himself. Legend says that the five Pandava brothers, heroes of the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata, stayed here for four out of the 14 years that they spent in exile. Another legend involves the death of Shiva's wife Satti; the story goes that when she died he cried so much and for so long that his tears created two holy ponds - one at Pushkara in Ajmer and the other at Ketaksha, which literally means "raining eyes" in Sanskrit. It is from this name that the word Ketas is derived. Another version of the legend mentions the two pools at Katasraj and Nainital. People bathe in that holy pond and seek forgiveness as Hindu belief holds that bathing in the pond (especially on certain occasions) causes the forgiveness of sins and helps attain salvation. Many people believe that this will come from bathing in the pond at any time. Depth of this holy pond is still a mystery.

Kallar Kahar

Kallar Kahar is situated 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) from the city of Chakwal, in District Chakwal of province Punjab, Pakistan. It is located about 125 kilometers (78 miles) from the city of Rawalpindi. Kallar Kahar is famous for Kallar Kahar Lake, Takht-e-Babri and beautiful species of peacocks. It is also famous for its natural gardens which are full of colorful flower and plants.
Kallar Kahar Lake is the most important reason for Kallar Kahar to be famous among tourists. It is a salt water lake. Situated at an altitude of 1500ft above sea level the lake is spread over an area of 8 kilometers. The maximum depth of lake is 4-5 feet. People enjoy pedal boating and motor boating on the lake. They also come here to spend picnics and holidays.
The famous Mughal emperor Zahir-ud-Din Babar encamped in Kallar Kahar with his armies, when he was marching from Kabul to attack on Delhi with his armies. During his stay, a throne was built for him by cutting a big rock, where he addressed his army. Later the throne was named “Takht-e-Babri”. It still exists in Kallar Kahar and working as a popular tourist attraction.
The lake and surrounding areas are also famous for being habitat of several species of birds. Most famous are peacocks. The arrival of more birds from different regions during winter in search of habitat makes this place even more attractive for tourists.
Several picnic points, gift shops, restaurants and guest houses are facilitating tourists at the bank of lake. A TDCP motel is also providing its services for tourists.
