Haripur  city is one of oldest cities of Khyber Pukhtoon Kha.
 There are few places over here to visit  with family &  enjoy .
Tarbela jheel (lake) is one of them. Its is a striking deep blue lake. Tarbela lake is built  on the Indus river.
 Lake is situated at a distance of 3 km to the south of Haripur city..

Tarbela lake is a very beautiful lake where while boating one can enjoy beautiful sights of the banks spread over miles. The half sunk hilly bank on the Tarbela Lake presents a fascinating view.  In summers water spreads upto  nearest town khalabat. People come here for fishing,   boating and hunting. At sunset the view of the lake is so enchanting.  A walk on the bank of the lake is so romantic .But for our own safety we should avoid it.What me love the most about this is the crops on the banks of the lake. The crops are there till mid april and the as the water rises the fields go underwater .  I remembered the wording of Henry David Thoreau, of after such a great view “A lake is a landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.”
