About

The Losar Baoli, located in the Margalla Hills near Shah Allah Ditta in the Potohar Plateau region of Pakistan, is a contemporary stepwell, constructed with dressed bricks. This structure serves as a vital water management feature for the local community, supplying water for daily use. Accessible from Sector D-13 via Kenthla-Haripur Road, the stepwell's six-foot diameter aids in maintaining its functionality. The area, historically used as a passageway for caravans and armies, offers a picturesque setting with its lush surroundings and bird songs, making it both a practical and serene spot for locals and travelers. The Losar Baoli exemplifies the continued relevance and adaptation of traditional water structures in modern times.
