Video on Shangla District | Tourism in KP l Pakistan Tourism
The video-documentary on Shangla district is another addition in the series of documentaries being filmed on various districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Lying at a distance of 282 kilometres from the capital city of Islamabad, Shangla has a number of scenic spots for the tourists and visitors.
It is one of the beautiful districts in Malakand division of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The district headquarters are located at Alpuri city.
The district consists of small valleys, and is situated between the hillocks and surrounded by high mountains full of thick forests comprising Pindrow Fir, Morinda Spruce, Blue Pine (Kail), Chir Pine and Deodar Cedar trees.
Going to Shangla is itself a joyful journey from anywhere in Pakistan and abroad as well. A tourist has to enjoy travelling on the zigzag roads leading to the serene district. Asmani Morr (Sky Turn) presents a beautiful view to the visitors and travellers alike.
As replete with beautiful grandeurs and tourist attractions, the Tourism Corporation Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (TCKP) has installed camping pods at Yakhtangi - the most scenic spot of Shangla district - to facilitate tourists and visitors.
Puran is another spot for the tourists and visitors to enjoy stay there.
Thick forests of tall trees, waterfalls and streams of clean water would welcome you to the valley locked by hills. Shangla waterfall is also a mesmerising sight in the video.
The videographer then goes to the Alpuri located on the banks of a stream flowing between the two lush green hills.
Houses structures dotted on the hills also present a panoramic view to the tourists.
Then comes Ajmeer, a comparatively less green, but equally beautiful spot in the district. The documentary concludes on Besham city.
Shangla was previously a subdivision of Swat district, but was upgraded to the status of a district on July 10, 1995. It comprises three tehsils, Alpuri, Puran and Besham.
The district is bounded in the north by Kohistan district, in the east by Battagram district and Torghar district, in the west by Swat district and in the south by Buner district.
There are relics of the ancient Greek period at Pirsar, Chakesar and Daut. It is believed that Alexander the Great camped at Pirsar for a few days. There are also relics of the Hindu Shahi in Olandar-Ajmair
