View on mapA hidden emerald valley of dense forest, alpine meadows, and a river as clear as glass.
Kumrat Valley in Upper Dir is one of Pakistan's most pristine and least developed valleys — a deep gorge of pine and deodar forest cut by the crystal-clear Panjkora River.
Still relatively undiscovered compared to Naran or Swat, Kumrat rewards visitors with quiet campsites, alpine meadows and some of the clearest river water in the country.
