Find Your Next Trip
Set among tall deodar trees in the heart of Kumrat Valley, Kumrat Waterfall, also known as Jandrai Waterfall, is a refreshing cascade fed by mountain snowmelt. The water drops down a rocky face into a clear stream, filling the forest with mist, cool air and the constant sound of rushing water.
Unlike the long treks to Jahaz Banda or Katora Lake, the waterfall needs little effort. A short drive from the main camping area and an easy walk through the forest bring you to the base, which makes it ideal for families, older travelers and anyone with limited time.

A few useful things to know before you go there.
Rocks near the water are wet and slippery.
Do not climb on wet rocks or enter fast-flowing water. Water levels rise after heavy rain or fast snowmelt, so stay well back from the edge.
It is much cooler near the waterfall, even in summer. Conditions can change quickly, with sun, fog and rain possible on the same day.
Mist and spray will get you wet and can damage electronics.
There are few shops near the waterfall.
ATMs are limited in Dir and not available in Kumrat.
Tell family your plan before you go.
Rain and landslides can delay travel on the valley road.
Keep them away from the edge and the stream.
Carry your rubbish back with you and keep the forest clean.
