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.

Accommodation in Kumrat Valley

Kumrat Valley offers a range of accommodations, from basic camping setups to modest hotels and guesthouses.

Top Hotels in Kumrat Valley

Kumrat Continental Hotel: One of the better options available, offering clean rooms and basic facilities. It is located near the entry point of the valley.

Green Hills Hotel: Known for its proximity to beautiful spots in the valley, this hotel provides comfortable rooms with scenic views.

Kumrat Palace Guesthouse: A simple guesthouse with affordable rates and friendly service, perfect for travelers looking for budget-friendly options.

PTDC Thall: While this hotel is not in Kumrat itself, PTDC Thall is a convenient stayover option before entering the valley.

Camping Options: Many visitors prefer to camp under the stars, and there are several designated camping spots where you can rent gear or bring your own. Popular sites include the area near the Panjkora River and Jahaz Banda.

Things to Do in Kumrat Valley

Kumrat Valley is rich in natural beauty and adventure, offering numerous activities for visitors:

1. Trekking and Hiking

The valley is a trekker’s paradise, with routes that pass through dense forests, gushing waterfalls, and green meadows. Popular trails include the one leading to Jahaz Banda and Katora Lake.

2. Camping by the Panjkora River

The Panjkora River flows through Kumrat, offering excellent spots for riverside camping. The peaceful sounds of the flowing river and the cool breeze from the surrounding mountains make it a perfect camping experience.

3. Exploring Jahaz Banda

Jahaz Banda, a stunning plateau surrounded by snow-capped peaks, is a must-visit in Kumrat Valley. It’s about a 5-6 hour hike from Kumrat Valley. Visitors are rewarded with panoramic views of lush meadows and sparkling streams.

4. Waterfalls

Kumrat Valley is home to several beautiful waterfalls, with the Do Kala Chashma Waterfall being the most famous. Surrounded by pine trees, this waterfall offers a tranquil spot to relax and enjoy nature.

5. Boating and Fishing

The river and small lakes in the valley provide opportunities for boating and fishing. Local guides often offer boat rentals and fishing gear to enhance your experience.

Essential Travel Tips

4x4 Vehicle: The roads leading to Kumrat can be rough, and a 4x4 vehicle is highly recommended.

Local Guide: Hiring a local guide can help you navigate the valley and ensure you don’t miss out on the key attractions.

Weather: The weather can be unpredictable, so pack accordingly. Even in summer, nights can get chilly, so warm clothes are essential.

Food Supplies: While there are basic food stalls and restaurants in Thall and the valley, it’s wise to bring some snacks or dry food with you, especially if you plan on camping.

Cash: There are no ATMs in Kumrat Valley, so make sure to carry enough cash for the duration of your trip.

Conclusion

Kumrat Valley is a true hidden gem, offering a unique combination of adventure and serenity. Whether you are an avid trekker, a nature lover, or someone seeking peace in the lap of nature, Kumrat has something to offer for everyone.

جب آپ کمراٹ ویلی میں تورے اوبہ یا کالا پانی سے اوپر جاتے ہیں تو آپ کو بے حد حسین نظارے ملیں گے۔ کالا پانی سے اوپر دوجنگا تک اپ فور بارئی فور گاڑی میں جاسکتے ہیں۔ دوجنگا سے آوپر کاشکین، شازور بانڈہ، کونڈل جھیل وغیر بہت ہی خوبصورت ہے۔ لیکن یہاں سفر کرتے ہوئے آپ کو ایک قسم کی الر جی ہو سکتی ہے جو ہم لوکل بھی محسوس کرتےتھے۔ پرانے زمانے میں جب ہم بانڈہ جاتے تھے تو پیاز ضرور ساتھ لےجاتے کیونکہ یہ الرجی کا بہترین علاج ہے۔ایک سیاح نے ان علاقوں کا وزٹ کیا ہوا ہے جن کے زبانی مذید سنتے ہیں

A Heaven on Earth-Kumrat Valley

At the height of 8,100ft above sea level, Kumrat Valley is located in the Upper Dir region behind Gabral, Swat Kohistan. In the summers, the temperature ranges from 20°C to 25°C, while in the winter, the temperature drops to -4°C to - 10°C.

We started our trip from Upper Dir with Ayaz Zaman, a local jeep driver from Bijli Ghar, a small town close to Upper Dir.We had known him for a while, and he had organized tours for friends in the past also. He was delighted to show us Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa (KPK) and said, “After the visit of Imran Khan to Kumrat Valley in 2016, this valley got the attention of tourists, and thousands of them began to visit this place every year, and fell in love with it”.

We took the Kumrat road via Biar bridge, which is a non-stop zig zag ride for almost 2.5 hours, until we reached the village of ‘Thal’. We were greeted by a welcoming cold breeze which swept off the Panjkora river and the lush green mountains around the village. As we entered the bazaar, we saw a crowd of people walking their herds.

The main market was small, but filled with dry fruits and Chitrali ‘Pakol’ hats. The village also has a distinctive Jamia Masjid that is a hundred years old, with its wooden structure still intact despite landslides and heavy rains. Thal is also called the ‘gateway of Kumrat’, and the rest of the journey beyond Thal had to be on a 4x4 jeep.

The entrance to the valley was full of vegetation, mostly cabbages. There were no rugged mountains anywhere, so the only thing you could see was the river and the sound of its gushing water. After an exhausting jeep ride, we decided to stay at the first hotel we saw. The people were welcoming, and the views from our rooms were wonderfull. We only needed to take a few steps out of our rooms to dip our toes in the river. As a Karachiite, I was excited to finally be able to use a shawl, and that too in the middle of July!

Ayaz looked up at the clouds and predicted rain. Sure enough, it started raining within five minutes of his prediction. We ran to our rooms and enjoyed the sound of rain with music, tea and board games. The very next day, Ayaz suggested that we should go to Kala Chashma and the Kumrat Waterfall, the most visited spots in the area, but were constrained by the intermittent rain.

Life has a crush on me, I promise. So, I organised another tour and this time we went to #KumratValley Kumrat is simply ❤️ The place is full of pine trees. The Panjkora river runs through the valley and it is a mesmeric view. The current, the sound of water thrashing rocks on its way down. Everything is just full of nature around there. We visited the famous waterfall, kala chashma, and do janga. You just can't get over the beauty of these 3 famous points.
