Lathiani Ghat

Lathiani Ghat is a lakeside ghat on the Govind Sagar Reservoir in Lathiani village, Una district, Himachal Pradesh. Formed by the Bhakra Dam on the Sutlej River, the reservoir submerged the old town and created this waterfront. The ghat is notable for its wide water views, tranquil setting amid low hills, and as a local boating and sightseeing point offering panoramic views of the reservoir and surrounding landscape.

Visitors can expect a wide, open waterfront on the Govind Sagar Reservoir with stepped ghat access to the water, views of low hills and the expansive reservoir, and a calm, rural setting. The area is used for sightseeing, photography, leisurely walks along the bank, and seasonal boating. There are basic local shops and food stalls nearby, with open spaces for picnicking and viewing sunrise and sunset over the water.

Lathiani Ghat is situated on the Govind Sagar Reservoir, created after the completion of the Bhakra Dam on the Sutlej River in 1963. The reservoir submerged parts of the old Bilaspur town and surrounding villages, reshaping the landscape. Lathiani developed as a waterfront settlement on the reservoir's western bank, and the ghat serves as the main access point to the water.

The ghat is a local community waterfront used for daily activities, religious bathing during festivals, and as a gathering place for residents and visitors. It reflects the cultural adaptation of lakeside life around the Govind Sagar Reservoir and is a common stop for visitors exploring the reservoir region.
