Wali Tangi Dam is a small dam in the Urak Valley in Balochistan province of Pakistan. It is situated approximately 20 km east of Quetta at an elevation of approximately 8,350 ft.
Wali Tangi Dam was constructed by the Pakistan Army[1][2] in the early 1960s[3] with the purpose of supplying clean water to the Urak Valley and Quetta for irrigation and human consumption. The dam stores and utilizes fresh water from melting snows in the surrounding Zarghoon Hills, which are part of the Sulaiman Range.
Trip to Wali Tangi is day trip. You need to show your identity to go inside the park. Distance between gate and Wali Tangi is 5 km. I wont say that it was dangerous road that took us to dam. But the road is unpaved and stony.
So it is better to take a rented car. Or you can walk all the way to dam (2 hours to reach Wali Tangi dam on foot). The road leading to dam is beautiful. We also did hiking in the last 15 minutes of journey.it was quite and beautiful. Weather was excellent in November. At dam you can get tea only so take your own food there.
