Allah Almighty has created the universe very beautiful and we should consider the universe of Allah Almighty and travel on its earth. Going to different places during the tour increases our knowledge and we get to see different natural Beauty things on the earth. We have read in books about mountains, plains and gardens and their benefits but in reality we know their benefits only when we see them with our own eyes. The high mountains delight our eyes and offer the best views of nature. The springs of clear and clear water coming out of the mountain tops refresh the mind.

A few months ago I planned a tour with my college friends. But the funny thing is that a month has passed 🤣 since the plan was made, Because sometimes no one gets permission from home and sometimes they make other excuses. It was finally decided that we would leave for the tour on the night of August 13, 2021.

Finally, on this day, with all our preparations, we reached the place from where we were to leave. When we got there, our car was ready. We had to pick up some of our friends along the way. After picking up friends, the journey began on the Lahore-Islamabad Motorway. Arrived at Islamabad Interchange during Fajr prayers. After praying and before sunrise we crossed Islamabad. The beautiful and lush mountains looked even more beautiful because it was the morning of our freedom. It was the morning of August 14, the day our beloved country was liberated.

Kagan Valley:-

After crossing Islamabad, we went straight to Kagan Valley. After reaching Kagan Valley, the nearest point ( Shogran Valley )was an hour's drive from there. After reaching the top of the hill, it felt like there was a great lack of oxygen. We were having trouble breathing. The clouds were mixed with the mountains. The cool breeze was blowing. After enjoying two or three hours we got hungry and we started cooking.

Mohdand Lake (Swat):-

After seeing the beautiful scenery of Kagan Valley, we left for Swat in the evening. After traveling five or six hours, we were about halfway there. All the friends were tired from traveling so much and they decided to rest in a nearby hotel. On the morning of 15th August, we got up and after breakfast left for Swat. When we entered Swat, there were many orchards there. After reaching Swat Valley, some people said that there is a Mohdand Lake here. After listening to people, we also became interested in seeing that beautiful Lake. After getting there, we really realized that it is very beautiful and our difficult journey was not in vain. After a arduous journey of three or four hours, we reached Mohdand Lake.

Night at Bank of Kunhar River:-

After spending hours at Mohdand Lake, we headed back to the nearby town. On our way back, we got a room in a hotel on the banks of the river Kunhar. The river was moving as fast as the wind. The speed of the water made the sound like thunder.

Malam Jabba:-

After spending the night at the hotel by the river, we had breakfast in the morning. A friend of ours cooks a very delicious pratha. After breakfast we left for Malam Jabba.

On the way we stopped at the bank of the river Swat where some people were sitting and clearing the rocks with water. When I asked him, one of them said, "We carve rocks from the mountains and clean them with water. We take out the precious stones and sell them." I took out one of his precious stones and saw that it looked very beautiful.

When we reached Malam Jabba, the natural scenery there was also captivating the tourists. A chairlift was installed there by the government. We bought chairlift tickets and travelled on it. After sitting on the chairlift, I was scared and I was having fun. After spending two or three hours there, it would be night and we cooked dinner and slept. The main reason for going to bed early was that we had to go back to our homes the next day.

Conclusion:-

It was a great tour with my mates. We are all enjoyed a lot the natural Beauty of Green Mountains. These are some of the best days of my life. I will never forget those days that are spend with my college friends. Along with the walk, it was also a study tour. We got to learn a lot from this tour. We are planning another tour very soon and I will share the story with you when I go on the next tour.
