Baghsar (باغ سر جھیل) is a lake situated at 975 m above sea-level in the Samahni Valley. The lake is roughly half a kilometre long and overlooks the Bandala Valley. Many local and migratory birds, especially ducks and geese, inhabit the lake. The lake is habitat to water lilies, and the surrounding hills are covered by pine trees and lily flowers.
Moghul Fort overlooks the lake from the top of a hill. This four story structure of granite has played important roles in history during the times of Ahmed Shah Abdali, Ranjit Singh and Gulab Singh. It is said that the Mughal Emperor Jahangir, on his way back from the Kashmir, fell ill and ultimately died in this fort.
Both public and personal transports can be used.
Public transport is hard to find there, therefore it is better to visit by personal transport.
