Hanna
Lake is a lake near
Quetta city and is
one of the main
attractions in the
city. The lake is
located a little
short of the place
where the Urak
Valley begins and 10
km from Quetta.
Golden fish in the
lake comes swimming
right up to the edge
of the lake. There
is a lakeside
restaurant with
picnic tables shaded
by pine trees. At
one end, the
irrigation dam rises
out of the depths
like battlements of
a fort. It is very
attractive for
holidaymakers, and
is crowded with
hikers and campers
in holidays.
The greenish-blue
waters of the lake
provide a rich
contrast to the
sandy brown of the
hills in the
background. One can
promenade on the
terraces or hire a
boat and paddle on
the lake and round
the island in the
middle. Wagon
service operates
from city bus
station at Circular
Road. The transport
can be hired through
the PTDC Tourist
Information Centre,
Muslim Hotel, Jinnah
Road Quetta.
