Khabikki Lake ( Urdu: کھبکی جھیل) is a salt water lake, in the Soan Sakaser Valley [3] in the southern Salt Range in Khushab District, Punjab, Pakistan. This lake is formed due to the absence of drainage in the range.[ citation needed] It is part of Uchhali Wetlands Complex and has been designated a Ramsar site.
The lake is two kilometres long and one kilometer across at its widest. A hill gently ascends on the right side of the lake.
Khabikki is also the name of a neighboring village. Boats are available, and there are two places to stay. A full fledged recreational resort has been established by TDCP with all necessary facilities and quick access to the resort from the main road.
