when i saw your pictures, i assumed that these places are somewhere in neelum or near because your pics are giving a very closer look of nelum and the pic of lake is similar to chitta katha, but anyhow this place is awsum

nai yar kumrat is much more than neelum valley and has greater diversity as far as landscpae is concerned.........

yes lake is similar to chitta khatta lake as its a bowl shape

Asif bhae. I have a few questions:

Public Transport Availability from Dir to Thall
Any info regarding road from thall to Utror Swat.
Can we enjoy Kumrat without going jahaz banda. I mean only to the last place jeepable. We don't have time for the trekking to Jahaz banda.

asifcae (asifcae) 2012-08-27 05:50:06 +0500 #26

1- only 1 jeep plys from dir to thall daily. in the morning 6-7 bajay. if u miss it ul have to wait another day or get special jeep...

2- there is jeep track which is used by locals

3 yes kumrat and jahaz banda are in different directions from thall.....

biking is advisable in kumrat also

is it possible go to Jaz dhand from swat side on jeep or any track
like from kalam banda or izmis lake

asifcae (asifcae) 2012-08-27 14:11:08 +0500 #28

yes Izmis lake is in near vacinity of jahaz dand but i am not sure of direct trekking route coz Jahaz Dand is covered form all sides by mountains and its katora shaped......

i have never seen or heard anyone moving from jahaz dand to izmis lake.........
