Ranjit sagar dam is around 10 to 15 kilometers from pathankot. and is a good place to visit with family. and to spend a quality time. the best place to visit is after monsoon. to see the greenery all around.
There is a dal lake . and there are also so many spots where you can relax. The bad thing about the place is there is not much amenities. so one has to bring food and water . and all the necessary things with him/her.
The dam is also a good place to visit for them who is studying civil engineering . as it gives more knowledge about the dam. and about its working.
I went there. when me and my family started journey from pathankot to Dalhousie( a hill station) . and ranjit sagar dam comes in our way to dalhousie.
Verdict- Go for a picnic with your family. great place. and also great for students of civil.
