The 10 Best Things to do Good for Kids in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (abbreviated as KP; Urdu: خیبر پختونخوا; Pashto: خیبر پښتونخوا) is one of the four administrative provinces of Pakistan, located in the northwestern region of the country along the international border with Afghanistan. It was previously known as the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) until 2010, and is known colloquially by various other names. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is the third-largest province of Pakistan by the size of both population and economy, though it is geographically the smallest of four. It comprises 10.5% of Pakistan's economy, and is home to 11.9% of Pakistan's total population, with the majority of the province's inhabitants being Pashtuns, Hazarewal, Chitrali, and Kohistanis. The province is the site of the ancient kingdom Gandhara, including the ruins of its capital Pushkalavati near modern-day Charsadda. Originally a stronghold of Hinduism and Buddhism, the history of the region was characterized by frequent invasions under various Empires due to its geographical proximity to the Khyber Pass.

A must do for anyone who visits the area - just 2.5 hours from Islamabad - begin in Dungagali Bazar and ends in Ayubia - 4 kms one way - it’s called the pipeline walk because it traces the route of the water pipeline laid by the British for the area in the early 20th century - don’t forget to look out for the time markets and British Army signias at the Ayubia end of the walk - also has covered benches along the way where one can seat and have a meal The walk has no incline and hence is very easy for people of all ages

I visited chitral city and kalash(boomboraat)and was stunned to see its calm tranquility and beauty. The roads to kalash are for tractor only as cars and jeeps frequently broke on it. The beautiful costumes of kalash women and thier dances are awesome.the flora of chitral is breathtaking to see.i didnt like the local cuisine,thanks God that other kpk cuisine were available. The chugha(emboreidery jackets)can be bought in chitral city for 10000rupees. The people of chitral are humble and loving.the kalash drink a whisky made from mulberry fruit. Chitral is a place to go again and again.

If you are in Kaghan and Naran Valley, then Lulusar Lake is must visit place. After an hour and 30 minutes on N15 highway from Naran, we reached to magnificent Lulusar Lake which is located at 3,410 m (11,190 ft.). It is the primary headwaters of the Kunhar River. It flows southwest through the entire length of Kaghan Valley passing Jalkhand, Naran, Kaghan, Jared, Paras and Balakot until its confluence with the Jhelum River. It is located about 48 kilometres (30 mi) away from Naran and is accessible by any kind of vehicle. We could see reflection of Sky and mountains on the mesmerizing lake. We took a couple of pictures there while we stopped there for fifteen to twenty minutes. It is bigger in length as compared to Saiful Malouk and very calm place to be.

Have done this several times Hike is 2-2.5 hours and should be fine and doable if you are fit. Make sure you wear good study shoes, preferably hiking shoes and take a jacket along even in summer. Hike starts from near KP Governor House and goes up around 2,000 feet. You go through some very dense forest and some of the hike particularly at the end is steep. Pack a light meal and biscuits and water. A hat or a cap and sunblock will come in handy because at the height (2900 metres) the sun can be harsh on a summer day. The weather can change all of a sudden so be prepared. A walking stick can also be very useful for support. On a clear day you can see as far north as the majestic Nanga Parbat (which is some 90-100 miles to the northeast)

Lalazar is a green meadow situated at the height of an elevation of 3,123 metres (10,246 ft) above the sea level, located in upper Kaghan Valley in Mansehra District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan, The route to Lalazar is on the Mansehra-Naran-Babusar-Chillas highway toward Babusar, the drive is mesmerizing in itself as the marvelous River Kunhar is flowing along the route on the left and the mountain covered with Alpine Forest is on the right. The road till Battakundi is paved and smooth but after Battakundi, the road started climbing up on the mountain road. The access road was very bumpy and is only accessbile by 4x4 jeeps. Very dangerous roads, slippery and windy, very dangerous during drizzling, on the top got beautiful view and awesome food at the top of the mountain, very fresh air. Lalazar offers beautiful meadows and prairies with terraced slopes and postcard views.
