Swat Valley: is a valley and
an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, located
close to the Afghan-Pakistan border. It is the upper valley of the Swat
River, which rises in the Hindu Kush range. The capital of Swat is Saidu
Sharif, but the main town in the Swat valley is Mingora. It was a
princely state (see Swat (princely state)) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa until
it was dissolved in 1969. The valley is almost entirely populated by
ethnic Pashtuns (Afghans). The language spoken in the valley is
Pashto/Pakhto. With high mountains, green meadows, and clear lakes, it
is a place of great natural beauty and is popular with tourists as "the
Switzerland of the region".
