Kunhar River, Kaghan Valley, Mansehra
The Kunhar River, located primarily in the Mansehra district of the Hazara division in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, belongs to the Indus River watershed basin. The Kunhar River, also known as Nain Sukh, is a 166-kilometer (103-mile) long river and the main river of the Kaghan Valley. It originates from Lulusar Lake, nearly 48 kilometers from the Naran Valley. Waters from Dudipatsar Lake and Saif ul Malook Lake feed the river, in addition to glacial waters from Malika Parbat and other high peaks in the valley. It rises from Lulusar Lake in the Kaghan Valley and meets other tributary streams at Naran, Kaghan, and Mahandri on its journey. It finally joins the Jhelum River after a fairly turbulent course of about 180 kilometers.
Additional information:
- Lulusar Lake, situated at an elevation of 3,410 meters (11,190 feet), is the primary headwater of the Kunhar River. It flows southwest through the entire length of the Kaghan Valley, passing through Jalkhand, Naran, Kaghan, Jared, Paras, and Balakot before its confluence with the Jhelum River.
- Dudipatsar Lake, also known as Dudipat Lake, is a lake encircled by snow-clad peaks in the extreme north of the Kaghan Valley, in the Mansehra district..
- Ansoo Lake is a high-altitude lake located at an elevation of 13,927 feet in the Kaghan Valley. The Lake is situated near Malika Parbat in the Himalayan range. The name “Ansoo” comes from its tear-like shape (the Urdu word “Ansoo” means teardrop). The lake also resembles a human eye with a central ice island resembling the iris and a ridge resembling an eyebrow, which becomes even more prominent when ice melts on the “eyebrow” during the summer.
- Saiful Muluk is a mountainous lake located at the northern end of the Kaghan Valley, near the town of Naran in Saiful Muluk National Park. The lake is a source of the Kunhar River. At an elevation of 3,224 meters (10,578 feet) above sea level, the lake is located above the tree line and is one of the highest lakes in Pakistan. Saiful Muluk is located in the Mansehra district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, about eight kilometers north of Naran, in the northern part of the Kaghan Valley. Saiful Muluk was formed by glacial moraines that blocked the water of the stream passing through the valley.
