Badwan, Rural settlement in Lower Dir District, Pakistan.
Badwan is a settlement in Lower Dir District that stretches along the Swat River, comprising several smaller communities. The area sits in a river valley where farming communities cluster together across the landscape.
The settlement was originally established as part of the Khadagzai Abazai administrative union and maintained its structure over decades. During military operations in the Malakand division, the community provided shelter for displaced families.
Education holds strong value in Badwan, with one boys' high secondary school, one girls' high school, and forty-five primary schools serving the local population.
The area is well connected by road to the nearby town of Batkhela, making travel convenient. This is a farming community, so visitors will experience rural life through local paths and river valley settings.
The landscape here features poplar, mulberry, and pine trees scattered among wheat and sugarcane fields. This combination of trees and crops creates a distinctive view that catches many visitors by surprise.
