All about the Katas Raj & Kallar Kahar Tour.

Katas Raj & Kallar Kahar Tour: If you are staying in Islamabad for a number of days and are interested in culture, history, and tradition, the Katas Raj & Kallar Kahar Tour is a fantastic choice. Near Chakwal is a group of historic temples known as Katas Raj, which is significant both historically and religiously. Its beginnings can be found in the Mahabharata era, and its history is entwined with Hindu mythology. The compound is built around a holy body of water that was allegedly created by Lord Shiva’s tears. The beautiful carvings, opulent architecture, and spiritual ambiance at Katas Raj make it a holy place for Hindus and a historical wonder for everyone. Similar to this, Kallar Kahar, the saltwater lake created by natural springs, is a serene haven that reflects the nearby hills and the clear sky. A touch of history is added to the region by the Takht-e-Babri, a former Mughal garden complex that displays the Mughal era’s architectural legacy.
