Swat's majestic twin waterfall in pictures.

The Swat valley, known for its enchanting glacial lakes and stunning pastures, houses more than 1,000 roaring waterfalls - some of which are accessible by road while others require short hikes or even a day-long trek.

Famous attractions like Jarogo, Shingrai, Donchar, Matitlan, Tambagat, and Char khwa waterfalls are thronged by tourists in the summer season but most of the remaining ones are hidden from the eyes of common tourists and only nature enthusiasts and trekkers can reach them to witness their breathtaking beauty.

Some waterfalls are tall and some are wild while others are powerful enough to push you back if you try to get near.

However, the twin waterfall near Kamarkhwa in Mankiyal valley of tehsil Bahrain is the most captivating and unique due to its location, scenic landscape and powerful sounds of gushing water.

'The twin waterfall is formed by a collection of big and small cascading waterfalls descending from the top of a high mountain that is a part of the mighty Mankiyal chain in Swat. The best thing about this waterfall is its magical view: the water plunges with great force, making a huge noise and leaving people in awe,' said Baber Ali, a trekker from Mingora who visited the site with a group of friends.

The gushing water then forms a long cascading waterfall before it enters the river flowing into the valley, he added.
