I too am planning to visit Swat/Kalaam region but have a few serious concerns over that.
Would anyone here be kind and informative enough to share the current situation in Swat regarding security, road conditions, weather conditions, electricity and the availability of stuff overall ? I am asking from a tourist perspective. I want to spend a week or so with my family in different areas of Swat and Kalaam and for that I need authentic and detailed information from a local or someone who has just visited these places. My foremost and major concern is security situation in the region.
1) Is it safe enough to travel to Swat and Kalaam these days ? Any risks/concerns and specific places/acts to be avoided ?
2) Is there any danger of getting kidnapped or robbed off at any specific place ? Please mention details.
3) Are the roads up until Kalaam will be good and open starting from May ?
4) Is is it safe and possible to drive my own car (either cultus or corolla) in these areas ?
5) Any additional and important info/details to keep in mind when visiting these places ?
I invite everyone to please comment on this if you have anything to share regarding all these concerns.
Thanks.
