Depletion of Deodar Trees

Deodar trees are depleting rapidly in ‘Dir Kohistan Valley’ as the residents claim that it’s the only source of cooking and heating in the severe winter season. The locals of Valley demanded to Government that they wouldn’t cut trees if Government would provide the facility of natural gas. But the Government didn’t pay attention to their request.

Camping Sites

There are many camping locations in Valley, like ‘Serena’ and others. Unsurprisingly, bathroom facilities are terrible. Sadly, no attention is given to public toilets. Every camping site consists of only one or two washrooms with cold water, lacking hot water facilities.

Panjkora River

Fishing is possible in River Panjkora though low waves in winter and autumn allow only an expert fisher to catch fish in the water. Net-based fish catching is also popular. Residents charge about Rupees Fifteen-Hundred per kilogram for freshly caught ‘Trout.’

Wild Animals

Several wild animals such as monkeys, snow leopards, Markhor, Brown Bears, Monal, Musk, Jackals, Ibex, Deer, Chakores, and Pheasants are found here. KKP Government is making a plan to announce it as National Part officially.’
