Tour Description
This trip follows the Swat River into the upper valley, using Kalam as the principal base. The central day can combine Ushu Forest, Mataltan-area scenery and Mahodand Lake when the road and jeep plan are suitable.
A three-day schedule is concise. The operator should confirm whether the advertised upper-valley stops are realistic for the season and pickup city.
