Khabikki Lake

Khabikki Lake (Urdu: کھبکی جھیل) is a salt water lake, in the Soan Sakaser Valley in the southern Salt Range in Khushab District, Punjab, Pakistan. This lake is formed due to the absence of drainage in the range. It is part of Uchhali Wetlands Complex and has been designated a Ramsar site.

The lake is two kilometres long and one kilometer across at its widest. A hill gently ascends on the right side of the lake.
