Kalam Valley, Mountain valley in Swat District, Pakistan

The Gabral and Ushu rivers merge at an elevation of 2001 meters to form the Swat River in this valley surrounded by pine forests.

The valley experienced significant changes after Taliban removal, followed by recovery from the 2010 floods and 2015 earthquake that affected local infrastructure.

Local festivals during summer showcase traditional music, crafts, and regional customs while maintaining the conservative values of the Swat Kohistan region.

Visitors can access multiple trekking paths from June through September, with September offering reduced crowds and temperatures suitable for outdoor activities.

The valley contains multiple alpine glacial lakes, including Mahodand Lake positioned 40 kilometers away at the Hindu Kush mountains base.
