Born in Chitral, I experienced the unparalleled beauty of Pakistan firsthand. My 5 years working in North American travel and tech made me realize the massive digital gap—and huge potential—for locals back home. I founded Pakistan Locals to bridge that gap and empower our communities.

Hiking & Trekking in Swat

Walk where legends walked

1 experience from local hosts

Swat, long called the Switzerland of the East, runs from Mingora up through Bahrain and Kalam to the pine forests of Ushu and the lake at Mahodand. It is green, close to Islamabad on the new motorway, and firmly back on the map. Hiking & Trekking here is led by Swati hosts who know the side valleys and the mountain roads, from Malam Jabba's slopes to the upper Kalam trails. Book direct and the income reaches the valley families rather than an outside agency.
