Panjnad Headworks
ہیڈ پنجند
Where five Punjab rivers converge before flowing into the Indus. The barrage spans the broad water, and the confluence is visible from here.
Panjnad means 'five rivers'. The Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej rivers meet near here. The barrage, completed in 1932, irrigates vast farmland around Bahawalpur. The road along the top of the barrage offers views of the wide water, and in the evening there are fishermen and fried-fish stalls. It is about 15 km from Uch Sharif, so the two can be visited on the same day.
