Utror – Kalam – Swat
Pc:... Khwaja Saeed

Utror Valley is 16 km from Kalam Valley and is surrounded by Gabral and Bhan valleys on the east, upper Dir district on the west, Kalam valley on the south and Gabral valley on the north. The altitude of the valley at Utror proper is 2300 meters and reaches to 2900 meters at Kandol Lake.

It is one of the beautiful region in Kalam, surrounded by snow clad mountains, lush green pastures and gushing waterfalls. The area has a typical dry temperate zone climate.

The winter season is very cold and as a result most residents o the upper parts migrate to lower areas along their live stock. The coldest months are December, January and February during which snow falls are frequent.

The valleys remain under snow cover for about four months. June, July and August are the hottest months of the year while during September and October, the climate is very pleasant
