Prices usually range between 300-500 PKR. Perfect for a sunny day outing! βοΈ Further inside, horse carriages await! A ride around the lake costs around 500 PKR. The clip-clop of hooves, pink shimmering waters π, and gentle breeze make it feel like stepping back in time β pure magic! β οΈ But beware of the βfriendlyβ local photographers! πΈ Theyβll enthusiastically take photos of you from every angle β even without you asking β and say βItβs free!ββ¦ until you get off the carriage. Then theyβll show you hundreds of photos and charge 60 PKR per photo πΈ. You could end up surrounded by 3-4 men demanding thousands of PKR. Stay alert and say a firm βNo thank you!β upfront. π¦ Bird Zoo: Right next door is the Bird Zoo β claimed to be the 3rd largest in Asia π₯.
