Upper Dir
Exploring Upper Dir’s Untamed Beauty
Upper Dir offers a mix of rugged adventure and peaceful mountain charm. The winding Panjkora River runs through lush valleys, while the surrounding peaks invite exploration. The journey here is as breathtaking as the destination, with dramatic cliffs, green meadows, and fresh mountain air greeting you at every turn.
It is also the main route to the famous Kumrat Valley, where tall deodar forests, alpine streams, and wildflower meadows create a fairytale setting. Jeep tracks lead to crystal-clear lakes and off-the-map hamlets where life runs slow and pure.
In Upper Dir, hospitality is a way of life. Villagers welcome travelers with warm smiles and endless cups of green tea. Markets brim with fresh produce, walnuts, and handmade woolen shawls. Traditional wooden mosques and old mountain houses give a glimpse into centuries-old building techniques.
Here, you can disconnect from the modern rush and reconnect with nature whether that means fishing in a mountain stream, walking through pine forests, or simply watching the sun melt into the hills.
