It's a great place to visit and see the amazing power house infrastructure. Entry pass through an employee is needed to visit.

Tarbela Dam is an earth-filled dam along the Indus River in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Located in the Haripur mainly and in some area of Swabi of the province, the dam is about 30 km (20 mi) from the city of Swabi, 105 km (65 mi) northwest of Islamabad, and 125 km (80 mi) east of Peshawar. It is the largest earth-filled dam in the world, and also the largest dam by structural volume. The dam was completed in 1976 and was designed to store water from the Indus River for irrigation, flood control, and the generation of hydroelectric power. The dam is 143 metres (470 ft) high above the riverbed. The dam's reservoir, Tarbela Lake, has a surface area of approximately 250 square kilometres (97 sq mi). The primary objective of the dam was to supply water for irrigation by storing flows during the monsoon period and subsequently releasing stored water during the low flow period in winter.The installed capacity of the 4,888 MW Tarbela hydroelectric power stations will increase to 6,298 MW after completion of the planned fifth extension financed by Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the World Bank.

I have visited the terbela power plant and it was a good experience for me and if you are coming here for a casual visit then you are welcome anytime but if you are coming here for a industrial visit then you should first contact with the reference person because they have check posts where you need to show them a pass.

Its a worth seeing place. You will be needing a pass in advance to reach there. Any friend or acquaintance in Wapda or Tarbela Cantonment can help you in getting pass. The best time to go there is when the lake is full and spillways are open (July - Aug).

The largest earth filled dam in Such a calm and peaceful place. You will find beautiful scenery there. It is the biggest dam in Pakistan. The security there is is fully active. You cannot enter without permission. the world, Tarbela is a huge reservoir that cover 250 sq km of surface area. It's a worth visiting place however one needs to get permission from WAPDA authorities to enter the dam premises. It's a whole day activity and if you want to visit the power house, special permission is required. The dam stores 11.1 MAF of water and produces 4888 MW of electricity. Bestest experience ever. Really informative trip. Such a cool place full of wonders. Didn’t know that Pakistan is so rich with talent n resources, only if they used properly. Enjoyed my visit a lot. The serenity of environment n comfy ambience, hospitable staff. Everything was perfect 10/10
