Uchhali is a saltwater lake in Soan Sakaser Valley in the southern Salt Range area in Pakistan.
The Ramsar Convention designated the complex a wetland of international importance on March 22, 1996, because it is a major bird habitat. The International Union for Conservation of Nature IUCN recognises Uchhali as Pakistan’s only habitat for the endangered white-headed ducks Oxyura leucocephala that spend winters in South Asia.
Other important bird species found in Uchhali include the imperial eagle Aquila heliaca, sociable plover Vanellus gregarius, greater flamingo, pied harrier, greylag goose and ferruginous duck Aythya nyroca.
