Kumrat Valley Tour Packages from Lahore by Road

A Kumrat Valley tour from Lahore is a 3 to 5 day road trip to the forests of Upper Dir in KPK, following the Panjkora River, with jeep safaris to the Jahaz Banda meadows and a trek to Katora Lake, travelling by AC bus with a licensed operator.

Kumrat is one of Pakistan's most beautiful and untouched valleys, a green world of tall deodar pine forests, waterfalls and river-side campsites in the Upper Dir district. Travelon Today offers affordable Kumrat tours from Lahore and Islamabad, all by road in our own AC buses.

The journey runs through Dir and the town of Thal into the Kumrat forest along the Panjkora River. From there, a jeep safari climbs to the stunning Jahaz Banda meadows, the base for a short trek to the bowl-shaped Katora Lake. Along the way you can enjoy the Kumrat waterfall, cool rivers and star-filled nights.

Because Kumrat is quieter and greener than the busier valleys, it is perfect for nature lovers, adventure seekers and families wanting calm. Our by-road Kumrat tours are planned to be safe, comfortable and budget-friendly.

The heart of every Kumrat tour, Jahaz Banda is a wide green meadow dotted with wooden huts, reached by an exciting jeep safari from Thal.
