Visited there last summer and it was spectacular. A true natural beauty in Pakistan. MashaAllah! As a foreigner I was really looking forward to seeing the full beauty of Pakistan’s landscape. However the biggest issue there is the families and tourists who just toss their garbage on the ground… Terrible. Just terrible. Carry your garbage in and out of these natural parks and valleys. Do not throw your trash into lakes, fields, parking lots, or anywhere other than a designated waste disposal. Please do your part to keep our planet clean, and reprimand those who do not. Especially kids and ignorant family members. My three year old (at the time) would collect the trash around her when the other families would just toss wrappers and bottles on the ground. If my three year old can keep our planet clean, so can you. There is no excuse. Please keep Mahodand Lake and every space in Pakistan as Allah intended it! It seems nothing is sacred in today’s society… Be the change you want in the world. And spread the word. Alhamdullilah 🌏✨

Visited this place more than 5 times in my life. Very difficult place to visit. Road conditions are too bad. You can get there in your personal car. You have to hire local car which will be around 5000 to 12000 pkr depend upon car. The place is very beautiful like heaven. Wash room facility are worst.

Amazing place located in kalam. must visit place.. difficulty for private and small vehicles..

beautiful place and a must visit place.. difficult track for private and small vehicles..

A very beautiful lake situated in district Kalam, 3-4 hours high-end off road track available from Kalam city. Recommended for 4x4 jeeps. Boating n Horse riding available there, small food points, You cross forests, many small rivers, e.t.c

Rout is difficult but Lake is so beautiful and full of nature.

Such a heavenly place it is . The view is unimaginable. Water is very cold even in month of june july , good place for camping though. But the road is very broken . It Takes 3 hours from kalam to Mahodand lake. Journey is very tiring.

Mahodand is one of greatest lake of swat Valley. One must go there in June and July. Never miss the ride, and keep it clean.

This spot is heaven specially at night when sky is full of stars and moon. My request to locals, foreigners and local visitors, pre arrangement for your waste stuff, never leave at this spot , encourage people to keep it.

That was one of the finest heart touching and breath taking point I ever visited. Such a beautiful meadows and water coming out in several lanes. Cool atmosphere out there. Just grab a 4 x 4 early in the morning and went out there. You should take water bottles and snacks with you to enjoy your visit.

beautiful lake on ushu River, can be visited on 4x4s only, a must visit spot for all those visiting kalam valley. Saifullah lake, Nasrallah lake, maodand lake , ushu village, ushu forest, and falak sair are the few spots one must visit , it takes a complete day to visit these places, located on ushu River, can be trekked on 4x4 , using services of locally available land cruires. Tourists are advised to negotiate rates and timings before leaving for sight seeing in these areas, since drivers can be itchy at times insisting on hushing up the tour and trying to save their time , for second stint with another set of tourist, leaving you only touching the sights with no time to absorb the beauty of thes areas. I was lucky to hire Mr Hikmat as driver , who took great pains and times to show us around in his modest but clean landcruiser with great driving skills, he became our guide to the area gave us historical knowledge of area and showed us around complete ushu valley with no hurry. Just posting his contact details in case you want peace of mind once visiting ushu and utror river vales.

My first ever trip to Mahodand Lake . It was such an amazing trip which i was not expecting. It was all unplanned trip to Swat Kalam.

A scenic place to visit and gets the top spot on the go to list, though a hectic jeep traveling from Kalam vis Osho Forest, Mattiltan, Palogha, Chashma Shifa and then finally First of 3 lake seires, namely Maho Dand, Saifullah and Nasrullah Lake. One must visit all three Lakes and enjoy the beauty and serenity if Nature, better take eatables along and Mineral water to avoid mal nutrition and food poisoning.

Awesome View ❤️❤️🇵🇰🇵🇰

Mahodand Lake Kalam Swat is the most beautiful place in Pakistan or say a piece of heaven on earth. Tourists must visit Mahodand Lake and enjoy its beauty.

Peaceful place to visit.... Enjoyed so much with colleague's..... Indeed.... Allah Almighty is great Creator....

This place is like a piece of heaven on earth.

It is like a heaven on earth. Beautiful dense forest tall mountains and the lovely green serene lake is a cooling spectacle to see. You would feel like it's a place where mortals mingle with the devine.

You need to book jeep or 4*4 wheel car to visit this beautiful lake. The facilities are average. Camping and fishing spots are very good.

more and most beautiful place i it too much, so therefore we goes two times.

So beautifull place to visit special one there is boat riding horse riding available to enjoy and you need to wear jacket even in summer weather🙂

I love the views, road to mahodand is under construction it will take 2 years hopefully, 4x4 recommended only.. although you can also go with small car as i had travel with fielder car

Mahodand Lake, nestled deep within the picturesque Swat Valley of Pakistan, is a true natural gem that beckons travelers seeking serene landscapes and a connection with unspoiled nature.

Beautiful scenery. Very cold and windy, bring warm clothes to enjoy.

This lake is clam around snowy mountains. In December with snowfall, a scenery to make you calm and still

Extra ordinary beautiful place. Average facilities. One has to take Jeep or Land cruiser. I have booked Land cruiser in Rs.5000/- from Kalam. Road is unpaved. Patients must not travel

Visiting this place in the winters is a whole new experience. You can play around in the white snow blankets all around the lake. When you're tired, you can sit down at one of the stalls there to eat some freshly fried pakoray and enjoy a cup of coffee. Don't forget to finish them quick, they'll get cold really fast in the below 0°c temps.

Beautiful lake but ugly look tent restaurants and pakora shops not only ruined its beauty but created environmental issues as well like polythene bags, juice, milk boxes, chips wrappers. No garbage cleaning arrangements and nearby hotel washes dishes etc in river/lake water. Nature has granted beauty on abundance but we spare nothing to scar it

Mahodand Lake (Urdu: مہوڈنڈ جھیل; Pashto: د ماهو ډنډ - "Lake of Fishes") is a lake located in the upper Usho Valley at a distance of about 35 kilometres (22 mi) from Kalamin Swat District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. The lake is accessible by a four-wheel drive vehicle, and is often utilized for fishing and boating. Lake type: Alpine/ Glacial lake Primary inflows: Glaciers water Primary outflows: Ushu Khwar Basin countries: Pakistan Max. length: 2 km (1.2 mi) Max. width: 1.2 km (0.75 mi) Surface elevation: 2,865 m (9,400 ft) Settlements: Matiltan, Ushu, Kalam Valley Definitely worth a day family trip Mahodand lake is one of the main attractions in kalam. It's about 2.5 hrs jeep ride which takes quite a toll on your body. You can do horse riding and boating there. Do compare prices before you book one. Food and beverages are available there but limited options. As i told you It is located about 2.5 hours jeep drive from Kalam. You have to hire jeep from Kalam Bazar and start early like 7:00 am to enjoy this place. There is a centeral island forest surronded by the lake. There are motor boats available for the ride at a very reasonable rate. The food quality is not good there so better to bring your own eatables. The influx of large number of visitors have desteroyed its beauty.There is so much deforstation all around. The indian wash rooms are available but mostly on payment. The best plan to visit here is to reach at 9:30 am , take a boat ride and spend some time in the island and then travel to the nearby Saifaullah lake which is about 10-15 minutes drive from there and a worth place to spend more tome. There is a beautiful waterfall there also. Just 5km further there is an other lake Saif ullah lake. Nice place to spend some time.

Swat, Kalam, Mohodand is very attractive and beautiful place. Especially you will find beautiful mountains, river streams, waterfalls and amazing places during ride towards Mohodand. Only 4X4 Jeeps should travel as road is totally off road track. It would be dangerous and risky idea use your own cars. You can hire Jeeps 6000 to 10,000 PKR depending on the Jeep, comfort and season.

Very beautiful lake and jungle island

Awesome experience here. Beautiful lake we traveled on bike. Camping there, made enjoyed a-lot there.

Amazing 🤩 nature's miracle. People visiting here should keep clean the place
