About This Tour

Explore one of Pakistan’s most beautiful mountain regions on this 7-day Swat, Kalam and Mahodand Lake Tour. Designed for international travellers who want to experience the natural beauty, mountain culture and scenic landscapes of northern Pakistan, this journey takes you from Islamabad into the heart of the Swat Valley.

Travel through the green valleys of Swat to Mingora, Malam Jabba, Bahrain and Kalam, surrounded by forested mountains, rivers and traditional villages. In Kalam, explore some of the region’s most impressive landscapes before taking an exciting local 4x4 jeep journey towards Mahodand Lake, a spectacular alpine lake surrounded by towering peaks and meadows.

The itinerary is designed at a comfortable pace, allowing time for sightseeing, photography, local experiences and relaxation rather than simply moving from one destination to another.

From panoramic mountain views at Malam Jabba to the rushing waters of the Swat and Ushu rivers, the forests of Ushu Valley and the dramatic scenery surrounding Mahodand Lake, each day reveals a different side of northern Pakistan.
