Shakoor Lake
Shakoor Lake is a 300 square kilometer saltwater lake located on the border between Gujarat, India, and Sindh province, Pakistan, with about 210 square kilometers within India. It was formed in 1819 by the creation of the Allah Bund, which blocked the Nara river, causing water to accumulate and creating the lake.
The lake is part of the larger Rann of Kutch region, a seasonal salt marsh known for its unique ecosystem and biodiversity. Shakoor Lake supports migratory birds in winter and local communities rely on fishing for livelihood.
Environmental concerns include salt extraction and water management practices, which have affected the local habitat. The lake also holds strategic significance due to its location on the India-Pakistan border. Visitors can observe its natural beauty, especially during winter when birdwatching is at its peak.
