Kumrat Valley
The Kumrat Valley is what one can imagine “Heaven on Earth” would look like.
With tall pine and deodar trees making up an expansive dense forest surrounding large green pastures, majestic snow-topped mountains seen looming high above the highest tips of the trees, and the rushing sounds of the ceaseless flow of the Panjkora River that passes through the Kumrat Forest, this destination offers the most diverse and nature-rich spread of land for a much-needed break from the city life’s hustle and bustle.
While this remote valley is relatively popular with local tourists, it does not get to see a lot of foreign tourists due to the difficult route and a history of its affiliation with the Taliban-occupied Swat Valley in the past. The region is, however, safe and clear now, and is rapidly gaining tourism popularity.
