Kumrat Valley Trip Overview

Kumrat Valley is a picturesque valley in the Upper Dir district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan. It is renowned for its stunning landscapes, which include lush green forests, snow-covered peaks, sparkling rivers, and breathtaking waterfalls. The valley attracts many tourists, especially those looking for adventure activities such as trekking, camping, and hiking.

Visitors can also immerse themselves in the local culture and cuisine, embark on a jeep safari, capture photographs of the stunning scenery, and visit sightseeing locations like Jahaz Banda Meadow, Katora Lake, and Do Kala Chashma.

Travel between Utror and Thall Kumrat Valley is done via a jeep track, which remains largely untraveled for several reasons, including poor road conditions, a lack of basic amenities, and the apathy of government and political figures. The valley is lush with greenery, showcasing numerous meadows and an abundance of trees. Kumrat Valley marks the final boundary of Dir Kohistan, which consists of six villages: Patrak, Biyar, Barikot, Kalkot, Lamoti, and Thall.

FAQs

1.How to Book the Tour?

To reserve a tour, please pay a 40% advance through bank transfer, Easy Paisa, or Jazz Cash for local tourists.

We will send you a trip payment receipt or ticket as proof. You will pay the remaining amount when you depart. Happy traveling!

2.What is special about Kashmir?

It was a wonderful experience in one of the most tranquil regions in Pakistan. While Swat Valley is renowned for its lush mountains, flowing River Swat, and stunning lakes, Kumrat Valley provides the perfect finishing touch with its river and beautiful woodlands.

3.Which Mobile Network Works in Kumrat Valley?

Jazz and Telenor SIM cards will function in certain areas where 4G might not be available anywhere. Thall Village, however, does receive strong signals. Due to its remote location and rugged terrain, mobile network coverage and internet access in Kumrat Valley are limited. Visitors should be ready for poor connectivity during their visit. 

4.How many days required to explore Kumrat Valley?

A stay of 3 to 4 days is sufficient to experience the primary tourist spots in Kumrat Valley. In 5 days, you can conveniently visit all the significant attractions such as Kala Chashma, Jahaz Banda Meadows, Kund Banda, Katora Lake, and more.

5.What is the best time to visit Kumrat Valley?

The best time to visit Kumrat Valley is from May to September. The temperature ranges from 5.6°C to 16.2°C, creating perfect conditions for outdoor activities. A large number of tourists visit during June, July, and August. These months, the landscape is full of vibrant meadows, streaming water, and flourishing plant life.

6.What is the road condition to reach Kumrat Valley?

The simplest way to get to Kumrat Valley is via Timargarha. About 8 km before Dir, a road branches off to the right leading to Kumrat. The road up to Sheringal is fairly decent, but beyond that, you’ll encounter one of the roughest roads you’re likely to drive on… all the way to Thal, which serves as the primary market area of Kumrat. The rocky and uneven road will definitely take a toll on your vehicles… it is highly advised not to use a vehicle with low ground clearance.

7.What are the best Hotels in Kumrat Valley?

In recent years, numerous newly constructed hotels have opened, providing visitors with exceptional hospitality.

  • Khanabadosh Glamp
  • Latitude Resort
  • Kumrat Maskan Hotel
  • Panjkora View Hotel
  • Mom Touch Hotel
  • Green Hills Hotel
