A feature is always reporting based, written in interesting manners .
Basic purpose of feature is to entertain
Keenjhar Lake, also
known as Kalri Lake is a huge fresh water lake which makes it a popular among
tourist in Sindh and other areas of Pakistan, 130 km northeast of Karachi.
Keenjhar Lake is 24 km long, 6 km wide, and has a depth of 8 meters, spread
over 13,468 hectares. It is a wildlife sanctuary, a Pakistani protected wetland
and has been declared a Ramsar site since 1976 by the Ramsar Convention, which
is an international treaty for the conservation and sustainable utilization of
wetlands. The lake is believed to have been formed by the merging of two lakes,
Sonehri and Keenjhar. The freshwater lake works as a beautiful and quiet
excursion area and tourist resort for the people of nearby cities during the
hot season, and it is a habitat for winter migratory birds like ducks, geese,
flamingos, cormorants, waders, herons, egrets, ibises, terns, coots and gulls
as well a breeding area of wide variety of birds.
The Keenjhar has some
astonishing scenes during winter season due to the thousands and thousands of
birds in flocks. Keenjhar is a re-known place for the wild life photographers,
many photographers visit Keenjhar only for the stunning moments of birds,
migrating from Siberia to the Ran-of-Kutch via Keenjhar.
This December on the eve of 27th
December, I visited the Keenjhar Lake for Wildlife Photography and I was
stunned by the Nature, Who has created such an amazing breed of birds. There
were millions of birds flying, floating, fighting and playing with fresh water
of the Keenjhar Lake. Keenjhar Lake is about 50km in the circumference so for
photographers it is really a big deal to capture the auspicious moments at the
right time, so all the photographers use a telescopic lenses and a boat with
camouflage to get more nearer for the better results. There are some
restrictions too for the photographers that they shall must wear a safety
jacket in order to stay alive in any emergency situations.
A photographer can experience
a very different world inside this world. Bird’s travels a very long route from
Siberia to Ran-of-Kutch, which needs a bit of stays and Keenjhar is one of the
most favorite place for those birds. Because the temperatures are friendly and
there are a lots of fishes in these time of breeding season. Keenjhar is also
rich with the variety of Fishes too. Birds that can dive in water catch fishes
and then the interesting part starts which are full of fight and furry of
birds. These are the moments to capture and many more. Most amazing part is
that when a bird dive’s in, catches a fish and then eats it while flying to
avoid the intruders to mingle up with the delicious meal.
The local authorities are not
friendly with the photographers especially when you are roaming around their
offices premises holding a professional camera and a long bazooka style lens of
600mm. The best way to avoid any objection is to keep the cameras in the camera
bags or case while roaming around the buildings and facilities. There is also a
military swimming training area at the lake so be aware not to point the camera
in their direction when you do photography on the North side of the lake
Keenjhar.
Most
visitors bring their own food, but there are some basic dhaba-style restaurants
in Keenjhar Lake, some along the shoreline serve tea, drinks and other basic
food at nominal charges. Restaurants usually cook food on weekends and holidays
otherwise they remain idle during working days due to lack of visitors but can
prepare a meal for you on order. Gas is not available in the area, so they use
charcoal to prepare the meals and tea, which maximizes the taste of food.
Freshly caught fish from the lake is definitely worth trying. A 1-kilogram
grilled fish can cost less than Rs. 1,000.
If
you are a Photographer and want some real good images so you must bring your
sleeping tent along with you for the night stay or you have to buy a room at
affordable prices but where is the fun for photographer that spend a night at
lake view in resort instead of living in the tent and feel the nature, night
and the beautiful voices all the night. The best way to photography is that you
shall start from morning 6am till 9am and then have some rest and charge your
batteries for the noon time shoots and then take a nap till evening and then
shoot till the sun goes down. The sunset at Keenjhar Lake is the most beautiful
sunset I have ever experienced as a photographer. Keenjhar is a very precious
asset of our Sindh and we shall respect the Keenjhar Lake’s importance in our
daily life.
