Located within Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province's mountainous northwest region, Panjkora River winds through scenic landscapes and forms Kumrat Valley in Dir Lower district before merging with the Swat River at Chakdara. During May to September, visitors can access this river via road networks for an immersive experience amidst verdant forests that line its banks steeply on either side. Fishing enthusiasts will find Panjkora particularly appealing due to abundant trout populations in the upper reaches of Dir during summer months when water levels are optimal and temperatures moderate, making it a prime spot for fishing expeditions with permits obtained from local Fisheries Department authorities prioritized before embarking on such activities.
