Kumrat Valley: A Hidden Gem of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Kumrat Valley, often referred to as a paradise on earth, is one of Pakistan's most beautiful and lesser-explored destinations. Located in the Upper Dir district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, this lush green valley, with its snow-capped mountains, dense forests, and crystal-clear rivers, offers a tranquil escape for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike.

In this blog, we'll cover everything you need to know about Kumrat Valley, from how to get there to accommodation options and other essential travel details.

How to Reach Kumrat Valley

Reaching Kumrat Valley requires a bit of an adventurous spirit, but the journey is well worth it for the breathtaking beauty that awaits.

By Road

From Islamabad: The most common route starts from Islamabad. You’ll drive to Timergara, which is about 5-6 hours (280 km) away. From there, you'll head toward Dir, which is approximately a 1.5-hour drive.

From Peshawar: From Peshawar, it takes around 6 hours (350 km) to reach Dir.

From Dir to Kumrat: Once in Dir, you’ll need to switch to a 4x4 vehicle as the road conditions become rough. The journey from Dir to Thall (the last major town before Kumrat) takes around 3 hours. From Thall, Kumrat Valley is an additional 2-3 hours away, depending on the condition of the roads and the weather.

Nearest Airport

Islamabad International Airport (ISB) is the closest major airport, and from there, you can either rent a car or hire a local driver to take you to Kumrat. It is best to plan an early morning start to avoid delays during the mountainous drive.

Best Time to Visit Kumrat Valley

Kumrat Valley is at its most vibrant during the summer months, from May to September. The temperatures during these months range between 15°C and 25°C, making it ideal for trekking, camping, and sightseeing. However, for those who love snow and want to experience winter in the valley, a trip between December and February is also possible, but road accessibility can be limited due to snow.

Indian woman crosses border for love, goes to Pakistan to meet man she met on Facebook

Anju became friends on the social media platform Facebook a few months ago.

Even as the Pakistani national Seema Haider remained in the discussion for illegally entering India through the Nepal border with her four children, another similar incident has come to the fore. Now, an Indian woman has crossed the border to meet her lover.

A married Indian woman from Rajasthan’s Bhiwadi district has travelled to Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province to meet a man she befriended and fell in love with on Facebook, police said on Sunday. 

Nasrullah and Anju became friends on Facebook

The woman, identified as Anju (34), had gone across the border leaving behind her two children and husband to meet the man named Nasrulla. Nasrullah, who works in the medical field and Anju became friends on Facebook a few months ago, ARY News reported.

After reaching Lahore, she called her husband (Arvind) and told him that she was in Lahore to meet a friend and will return to India in three-four days. But Arvind came to know via media that Anju had gone across the border to meet her lover. The couple has a 15-year-old girl and a five-year-old son.

Arvind further said that he had no idea that she had gone to meet a named Nasrullah in Pakistan. He said her passport was issued in 2020 as she wanted to apply for a job abroad. He said that before this she had never gone out of the city. She once had gone to Faridabad to meet her relative.

Reportedly, Anju had also bought a new SIM to go to Pakistan, whose number she had not even given to her husband.

Anju was married in 2007

According to the reports, was born in Kailor village in Uttar Pradesh and lived in the Alwar district of Rajasthan. She reached Lahore three days ago and she is now in the Upper Dir district of Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Arvind has been working in Bhiwadi since 2005 and was married in 2007 to Anju. Anju is also employed at a private firm.

Anju was was initially in police custody but was released after her travel documents were verified. “She was allowed to go after all the travel documents were found to be in order. They were provided security to ensure no untoward incident takes place and which can bring a bad name to the country,” a source told news agency PTI. 

Seema Haider story

Recently, Seema Ghulam Haider, a Pakistani mother of four, sneaked into India to live with Sachin Meena, a Hindu man she got in touch with while playing PUBG in 2019. Seema (30) and Sachin (22) are currently leaving in the Rabupura area of Greater Noida. According to the couple, Seema and Sachin Meena got in touch while playing PUBG in 2019 and a dramatic love story unfolded between the two living more than 1,300 km apart, in countries not too friendly to each other. Seema and Sachin live in the Rabupura area of Greater Noida, near Delhi, where he runs a provision store, according to Uttar Pradesh Police.

While Seema was arrested on July 4 for illegally entering India without a visa via Nepal with her four children and Sachin was put behind bars for sheltering the illegal immigrants. At present, the police and investigative agencies are investigating Seema. It was earlier reported that the security agencies were planning to send Seema back to Pakistan soon, but later it became clear that she will be in India till the investigation is completed.

However, unlike Seema who entered India without a visa via Nepal with her four children all aged below seven years, Anju has travelled to Pakistan legally from India via the Wagah-Attari border.
