The 10 Best Free Things to do in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (abbreviated as KP; Urdu: خیبر پختونخوا; Pashto: خیبر پښتونخوا) is one of the four administrative provinces of Pakistan, located in the northwestern region of the country along the international border with Afghanistan. It was previously known as the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) until 2010, and is known colloquially by various other names. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is the third-largest province of Pakistan by the size of both population and economy, though it is geographically the smallest of four. It comprises 10.5% of Pakistan's economy, and is home to 11.9% of Pakistan's total population, with the majority of the province's inhabitants being Pashtuns, Hazarewal, Chitrali, and Kohistanis. The province is the site of the ancient kingdom Gandhara, including the ruins of its capital Pushkalavati near modern-day Charsadda. Originally a stronghold of Hinduism and Buddhism, the history of the region was characterized by frequent invasions under various Empires due to its geographical proximity to the Khyber Pass.

Kumrat, a beautiful spot near Dir is accessible by road lined with interesting views. People are friendly.Islamabad to Chakdara is through motorway (190 km, 2 1/2 hours). On towards Dir road is metalled, good for cars (105 km, 3 hours). 10 km short of Dir, we turn right, (Baab-e-Kumraat). Sheringal (35 km, 2 hours) road is broken metalled road. Sheringal to Thal, dirt track worse, but travelable with car (20 km, 1 1/2 hours). Dirt track leading to Kumrat Valley is aound 30 km, is more difficult. (doable with regular 2WD; 4WD is better option). Kumrat Valley has a flowing river, relatively wide valley, with rocky mountains, and lower slopes are covered with evergreen trees: the bare peeks have beautiful golden shine in the after noon. The track is not dangerous....doable during day or night, and any weather. Fuel is available up to Thal. A beautiful water fall over a single large rock, in Kumrat is popular tourist destination. Water crossing towards the end of Kumrat is the final interest. Jungle tracks and meadows abound, are good for walking along. Hotels, Tent Camps, Free Camping areas are available all along the dirt track. The people are very friendly and will help any one and all. Sleeping in own tent is a very good option. The weather is mild... there is snowfall in the winter, but the road remains open. Still, good weather is from late May till early September Read less Date of experience: September 2019 This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC Helpful mafzaalwrote a review Sep 2019 Lahore, Pakistan18 contributions13 helpful votes Kumrat valley upper dir pakistan Visited kumrat valley with friends in May 2019.we go there by car via Mardan .Malakand.Chakdara.Sharingle and parked our car at a petrol pump before Tall.we hired a jeep for kumrat valley because road is not good.Kumrat valley is a heaven on earth.Beautiful plains.

If you are in Kaghan and Naran Valley, then Lulusar Lake is must visit place. After an hour and 30 minutes on N15 highway from Naran, we reached to magnificent Lulusar Lake which is located at 3,410 m (11,190 ft.). It is the primary headwaters of the Kunhar River. It flows southwest through the entire length of Kaghan Valley passing Jalkhand, Naran, Kaghan, Jared, Paras and Balakot until its confluence with the Jhelum River. It is located about 48 kilometres (30 mi) away from Naran and is accessible by any kind of vehicle. We could see reflection of Sky and mountains on the mesmerizing lake. We took a couple of pictures there while we stopped there for fifteen to twenty minutes. It is bigger in length as compared to Saiful Malouk and very calm place to be.

Babusar Pass/Top is the highest point at an elevation of about 13,700 feet at the border of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit Baltistan provinces of Pakistan. The road is fully carpeted, wide and useable for all kinds of vehicles. Very beautiful sceneries on both sides of the top are waiting for the visitors with cold breeze even in chilled summer.
