The story

Kumrat Festival in Kumrat Valley

The Kumrat Festival is a locally organized gathering held in the Siri Mayi area of Kumrat Valley, in Upper Dir, promoting the region's alpine scenery, trout streams and waterfalls alongside cultural stalls.

Kumrat Valley owes its growing profile less to any organized festival than to word of mouth about its scenery: dense pine and deodar forest along the Panjkora River, the milky-turquoise pool at Jahaz Banda waterfall, and Katora Lake tucked into the high ground above the valley floor.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Kumrat Valley, the upper reach of the alpine Panjkora Valley in Upper Dir, is better known for its natural attractions than for a single flagship event, with Jahaz Banda waterfall and Katora Lake as its signature draws

02

The mystery stays covered

Local tourism operator sources describe the Kumrat Festival as an annual event staged past the Frontier Corps checkpost at Siri Mayi, run alongside other regional gatherings such as the Spring Festival and Chilimjusht Festival, but independent, large-outlet press coverage of the Kumrat Festival specifically is thin compared to coverage of Kalam, Malam Jabba or Shandur
