Khabeki Lake is located on Jaba, Nowshera Road. It should be remembered that this is not Nowshera in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but the main town of Son Valley. There are many routes to reach here, but you have to take one route after reaching Jabba or Nowshera. From Islamabad to Jaba Wali is suitable.
If you get off at the Kaler Kahar Interchange on the Motorway, the road to the right on arrival from Islamabad and to the left on arrival from Lahore joins Khushab Road winding along the banks of Kaler Kahar Lake. On the same winding road there is a TDCP resort, children's swings and boating (both of which are closed today), a museum, Takht Babri, a garden. As if there is a full management of the tour. If you want, you can stop here for a while and enjoy the urban amenities for the last time as the onward journey lacks the amenities.
