Khabeki Lake

Anmb Shareef

Anmb Shareef is regarded as a portion of Soon valley that is historically important since a fort and a temple are present. From the archaeological point of view, the site has particular importance.
The site was formerly a fort built in Kashmiri style, with one palace and two temples. Today, just the remnants of the palace and of the vacant temple commemorate its history.
There are three levels in the palace, although tourists only have access to two. This area has enormous artistic significance, but the site was regrettably neglected over many years, and many rare and valuable items were carried by smugglers and local residents.
There is a lot that may still be retrieved out of soil including old coins, antiques, and perhaps historic walls.
Sultan Mehdi Shrine

At 26 kilometers away from Khabeki Lake lies the Shrine of Baba Sultan Mehdi. There is a shaded way down to the Sufi Saint’s prayer zone. The walk takes around 15-20 minutes and is in the middle of the mountains.
The sources adjacent to the prayer area contain crystal-clear water and little fish may be seen within. Sultan Mehdi Springs is a secluded and serene spot. The walk is an incredibly peaceful and spiritual experience for visitors.

It consists of continuing series of pools falling into each other that too form a highly striking landscape. You enter a grassy ground if you hike a little above this area. This place is peaceful and best for meditation with beautiful nature sounds.
Sakesar
