Kaghan Valley – Pakistan

The Kaghan Valley is a valley in the north-east of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. It attracts many tourists from around the world. The Kaghan valley is named after the town of Kaghan rather than for the Kunhar River which flows through the length of the valley. The valley extends 155 km, rising from an elevation of 2,134 feet (650 m) to its highest point, the Babusar Pass, at 13,690 feet (4,170 m). Popular languages are Hindko and Gojri, while Urdu, Pakistan’s national language is also familiar among the locals. The region is Alpine in geography and climate, with forests and meadows dominating the landscape below peaks that reach over 17,000 feet.

Faizan,
Great photos –
I was at Saiful Mulik Lake while attempting to climb Malika Parbat in 1966 – it brings back many memories.
I was taking a vacation while living in Khushab working as a Peace Corps Volunteer Engineer for Khushab Telsil 45 +/- years ago. My German climbing partner and I did not summit; however, it was a fantastic trip to a beautiful part of the world.
guda hafiz,
Kris

Thank you for these beautiful pictures. I was there in July 1960. Then it was a challenging trip from Naran… a jeep to the end of a road than on horseback across a glacier and mountain pass and finally down to the Lake. We were the only ones there. I was just rereading my parents’ notes and wanted to see what it looked like now. Still beautiful.
