Utror Valley, Swat, Pakistan

I received this gorgeous view of Pakistan from the wonderful Vera in a swap earlier this year. I love it how she always writes so much on her cards, and decorates them really beautifully as well. :)

Utror is one of the many side valleys around Kalam in Upper Swat. From Kalam, it is 16km up the Utror River to Utror village, at about 7,300 feet above sea level. It is an unspoilt and peaceful spot and the milky white Utror River flows through the village. The valley provides a base for many trekking opportunities, including many high altitude lakes and summer pastures.
