Mankial Valley

The beautiful Mankial valley of Swat is a mix of different and varied valleys and plains. The southern region is comparatively wide and open, consisting of plains that are cultivated throughout the year and yield extremely large quantity of fruit and crops.

The Northern region is a congregation of tall high rising mountains where small valleys provide little ground for cultivation and residential area for the small mass of population scattered in different groups and families. The valley of Mankial is one such places located in the north of Swat on the main road leading to Kalam.
The total distance of the valley from Saidu Sharif is about eighty kilometers. The condition of the road is not good but still the scenic beauty along the Swat River keeps the visitors engaged.

The fascinating valley of Mankial is famous throughout Swat for its several sharp and jagged summits or peaks, which can be seen hundreds of kilometers away from down the plains. The tallest peak’s height is 18750 feet above sea level.
