Jahaz Banda, Meadow in Kumrat Valley, Pakistan.
Jahaz Banda extends across an elevation of 3,100 meters, surrounded by snow-covered mountains and dense forests in the Upper Dir District of Pakistan.
The meadow has long served as a traditional grazing ground for local shepherds who maintain centuries-old agricultural practices in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
Local Pashtun communities in the region maintain dairy farms near the meadow, producing traditional milk products following ancestral methods.
Visitors need to arrange transportation from Thall to Takki Top, followed by a two-hour hike covering six kilometers to reach the meadow.
The temperature in Jahaz Banda meadow remains between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius, creating conditions for specialized alpine flora to thrive.

Pakistan offers photographers diverse subjects: mountain ranges above 13000 feet (4000 meters), Islamic architecture, desert landscapes and modern city views. The Faisal Mosque in Islamabad ranks among the largest mosques globally and displays contemporary design with white marble walls and four slender minarets. In Lahore, the Badshahi Mosque and Lahore Fort document Mughal architecture from the 16th and 17th centuries, while Wazir Khan Mosque is known for its tile work. The northern areas present alpine settings: Attabad Lake formed in 2010 from a landslide and sits between steep mountains, the Passu Cones rise as jagged peaks above Hunza Valley, and Fairy Meadows offers views of Nanga Parbat, the ninth highest mountain on Earth. Khunjerab Pass marks one of the highest border crossings in the world at 15400 feet (4693 meters) on the Pakistan-China frontier. The collection also includes historic fortifications and cultural sites. Rohtas Fort from the 16th century extends over 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) of walls, Derawar Fort shows 40 bastions in the Cholistan Desert, and Ranikot Fort stands as one of South Asia's largest fortifications. The Makli Necropolis near Thatta contains tombs and mausoleums spanning six centuries. In Karachi, Mohatta Palace and Frere Hall document colonial architecture, while Mazar-e-Quaid serves as the mausoleum of founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Natural areas like Deosai National Park above 13000 feet (4000 meters) and the juniper forest of Ziarat complete the photographic range.
