Most of the piece is copy paset. Plz write from ur own mind.: https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Keenjhar_Lake 
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.
