Sar Jalal (formerly Jalal Khurd) was a caravanserai located along an old stretch of the Grand Trunk Road in Pakistan. The caravanserai contains:

  • a Mughal era water tank, descended with stairs in it, constructed basically as farood gah to serve the army beside the old Grand Trunk Road. Jalal Khan Ghakkhar, a local chief of Ghakkhars to represent Mughals, constructed the tank (Sar) to be called Sar Jalal in his name, in addition to a patch of tunnel still visible, was also dug out for overflowing water;
  • a mosque dating back to the Tughlaq dynasty.
