Things to do in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan: The Best Mountains
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.

Have done this several times Hike is 2-2.5 hours and should be fine and doable if you are fit. Make sure you wear good study shoes, preferably hiking shoes and take a jacket along even in summer. Hike starts from near KP Governor House and goes up around 2,000 feet. You go through some very dense forest and some of the hike particularly at the end is steep. Pack a light meal and biscuits and water. A hat or a cap and sunblock will come in handy because at the height (2900 metres) the sun can be harsh on a summer day. The weather can change all of a sudden so be prepared. A walking stick can also be very useful for support. On a clear day you can see as far north as the majestic Nanga Parbat (which is some 90-100 miles to the northeast)

Lalazar is a green meadow situated at the height of an elevation of 3,123 metres (10,246 ft) above the sea level, located in upper Kaghan Valley in Mansehra District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan, The route to Lalazar is on the Mansehra-Naran-Babusar-Chillas highway toward Babusar, the drive is mesmerizing in itself as the marvelous River Kunhar is flowing along the route on the left and the mountain covered with Alpine Forest is on the right. The road till Battakundi is paved and smooth but after Battakundi, the road started climbing up on the mountain road. The access road was very bumpy and is only accessbile by 4x4 jeeps. Very dangerous roads, slippery and windy, very dangerous during drizzling, on the top got beautiful view and awesome food at the top of the mountain, very fresh air. Lalazar offers beautiful meadows and prairies with terraced slopes and postcard views.
