Region
Swat Valley β once called the "Switzerland of the East" β is a land of breathtaking natural beauty and ancient Buddhist heritage. The valley's emerald-green Swat River, dense forests, alpine meadows, and towering Hindu Raj mountains captivated visitors from Alexander the Great to generations of Pakistani and foreign tourists. Swat is also home to extraordinary Gandhara Buddhist ruins dating to the 2nd century BCE, and Pakistan's only developed ski resort at Malam Jabba. The upper Swat culminates at Mahodand Lake (2,900m) β one of Pakistan's most beautiful alpine lakes.
