Swat Valley Tour Highlights:
Swat valley tour is very rich in archaeology, history and culture. For individuals and families Swat Valley package is highly recommended. One may find variety of precious and semi-precious stones in the region and is also a golden opportunity to enjoy Trout fish meals.
The lush-green valley of Swat, with its rushing torrents, icy-cold lakes, fruit laden orchards and flower-decked slopes is ideal for holiday maker’s intent on relaxation. It has a rich historical past too. This is the Udyana (the garden) of the ancient Hindu epics “the land of enthralling beauty” where Alexander of Macedonia fought and won some of his major battles before crossing over to the plains of Pakistan. This is the valley of hanging chains described by the famous Chinese pilgrim-chroniclers, Huian Tsang and Fa-Hian in the 5th and 6th centuries. Swat was once the cradle of Buddhism of all its schools – little vehicle, great vehicle and the Esoteric sects – where once 1,400 monasteries flourished. It was the home of the famous Gandhara school of Sculpture which was an expression of Indo-Greco form in the local Buddhist tradition. Swat valley tour is specially designed to cover all the aspects of Swat valley tour.
This tour is highly recommended for families with children and for individuals as well. These days there is a newly built express way up to Mingora (Swat) that saves lot of time and hassle. There is an upcoming attraction of Ski resort of Malam Jabba that has made Swat valley tourism round the year.
