waseem - March 21, 2005 1:25 AM

sir i would like to clarify the name if this lake is MAHU DHAND…its 3 kms north or kalam!! and indeed it is very beautiful as ive gone there more than 20 times…if u want to see a place more beautiful than this one go to KUMRAAT valley in the dir district…it is 10 times more beautiful and the beauty of it is that it is still a virgin valley…u can say i grew up in the whole of the northern areas as my father was the head so i know these places like the back of my hand and if u need more info abt other beautiful places i wd gladly help

Malik - March 25, 2005 5:50 AM

Dr Zaheer Sattar - June 27, 2005 1:44 PM

I visited this lake in 1990, i was 17 then. its route was wild and genuine jungle ride then…the lake itself is actually a zigzagging network of blue streams…we were the only visitors there that day…upper swat at its best…Mahodand’s draems have never left my sleep eversince… i was a beginner photographer then…i couldn’t capture it the rightway…now i am a semi pro…i will do much better now.

The photographer of the above image says it rrrrrrrrright…it doesn’t do justice to the actual lake.

Now a days i hear its been polluted by khokha hotels and rubbish stuff…a lot of jeeps go there daily…and pollute it even more…the typical pakistani side effect of development…

If any one wants the scene as it is in the photo (actually it is much more), the best time to go there is before july 15…after that the ground levelling blue zigzags are no more…water starts receding.

go there if u can…and tell whats left…

khairullah khan - August 12, 2005 6:28 PM

shamyl ali - August 15, 2005 7:13 PM

i visited this lake in 2005, in july.This lake is at the end of SWAT valley, and then u can goto chitral which will take you 2 days by walk as there r no roads OR tracks. This lake is a start of swat river, and is very beautiful place.The only thing i didnt liked abt it is, the polution there! which is caused by the tourist etc.My request to u all ” visit this place but please dont ruin it”. A perfect place to visit! luv pakistan~!

ahsan - August 23, 2005 9:51 PM

Aisha Khan - July 11, 2006 2:02 PM

Just came back from Mahudand lake, it is a beautiful place capable of having rock climbing resort in Pakistan. The terrain is full of amazing rocks, gushing cold waters and lots of adventure. Really like this place and never forget the log bridge underwhich cold water is rushing down. Nature is amazing.

hasan - July 14, 2006 3:09 AM

I am very concerned about rampant deforestation I observed in the area

Ratan Lal - August 16, 2006 12:00 PM

I think kalam is the paradise of the world. it is very beautiful

khalid zaheer - October 22, 2006 1:19 PM

Viewers, this picture is not presenting even a 10% of actual beauty of this place. Subhan Allah what a beauty full place is this. I am, certainly, not able to explain its charm and beauty in words. Allah is indeed certainly greatest of all.

Fahad Iqbal - April 25, 2007 6:00 PM

shams ur Rehman - September 4, 2007 8:23 PM

God has gifted pakistan beautiful places in the form of fertile grounds,wondurful lakes & rivers AND marvellous mountains. It is our responsibility to take care of God’s gifts.It is necessory to keep these places clean so that nature can be seen in it’s original form.At the end we should keep our hearts clean and beloving for other pakistanees like these places.

what a place hum idhar gay hain magar aik lamhay kay liay main nay ye zarour socha kay ye duniya main nai ho sakti what a beauti kya baaaaat hai app zarour jain idhar

FAROOQ AZAM - October 13, 2007 1:09 PM

I visited this place on July-19-2007 and its really a good place i wish to go there again when there will be peace. Due to STUPID MUSHARRAF policies this area become hell for visitors otherwise this place is a heaven. There is another lake SAIFULLAH just 2 or 3 KM from Mahodhand also visit that place its more beautiful then Mahodhand

GOD BLESS PAKISTAN

kiran - October 17, 2007 4:23 PM

This valley actually the real picture of life. When i went there that time i felt it is the God,s Creation for Human beings to watch and enjoy the Beauty of Nature. Allah made for all Bautiful things but man always said no its not enough so no doubt its a very baeutiful place and realised how much Beautiful he is who create All beauty of nature for man. Thanks for Allah who gives alot of Blessing upon us by throwing the light of happiness.

jamil a dost - April 15, 2008 3:03 AM

i love my sweet chitral the most beautiful place which is located in between the mountain having grate people oooohhhhhh ma zannnn chitral

Waseem Ahmed Kausar - April 16, 2008 4:28 PM

Its very beautiful lake and I visited three times. Twice on a 4X4 jeep and once on my own motorbike. It taken 2 hrs. and 30 minutes to reach on motor bike. it was amazing trip. We have a little group to bike riders and we often go to such places like Kaghan Naran, Swat, Chitral and Gilgit also. So i can say that the roads of northern areas are on my finger tips. Any one can take guidance while going to arrange a trip. My cell no. is 0300-9561511

salam_khan - May 14, 2008 2:48 AM

I Had been there Itz very cold place take a blanket with you if you wanna go there are some boats in the Lake Which Takes you to The Water fall About 25min on boat from lake itz really enjoyable ( wanna Know more just ask me none31952@yahoo.com ) But you can only go there by Jeep or some sort of offroad vehicle.

burhan ud ding - June 24, 2008 4:33 PM

i really love it

Nadeem - June 29, 2008 12:32 PM

I wonder why is it called a LAKE, where as it is a RIVER

I went there twice in 2005. I was depressed to see Swat, which unlike it’s reputation is not beautiful or green (even Islamababd’s Margallah mountains are more green), the area ahead of Swat is somewhat better but nothing worth mentioning, five hours of drive ahead of Swat takes u to Kalam. Kalam and areas are are beautiful, serene and green. I was impressed by the two hour drive and the land/area falling on the way and Maudand River’s beauty. It is not a lake, but a river jutting out of the glacier ahead of Maudand and then going all acorss Swat to reach Nowshera etc

asfandyar - July 26, 2008 9:09 PM

Well, to be realy honest, i must say this picture fails to explain the real beauty of Mahodand. The place is for most beautifull then it looks. Those who have been there will agree with me. But But But… There is no question regarding the beauty of that place. Its beautiful. Its paradise on earth.

ajab khan - August 6, 2008 1:33 PM

It is such a wonderfull place.i would like to go there.i also stay in swat valley but i have never visited this place.

Imran - October 14, 2008 12:54 PM
