Nathia gali is an area situated around a
beautiful street. Kalam Valley is a beautiful valley near Swat River in Swat, in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
state of
Pakistan.
Kalam Valley is known for its gorgeous waterfalls, stunning lakes and lush green
mountains. This valley is a 274 kilo meter away from Islamabad. It is a popular destination for
international tourists.
At 29 kilometres (18 mi) from Bahrain and about 2,000 meters (6,800
ft) above sea level, the valley opens out, providing rooms for a
small but fertile plateau above the river. In Kalam the Ushu and
Utrot rivers join to form the Swat River. Here, the metalled road
ends and shingle road leads to the Ushu and Utrot valleys. From
Matiltan one gets a breathtaking view of the snow-capped Mount
Falaksir 5918 meters (19,415 ft), and of another unnamed peak 6096
meters (20,000 ft.) high.
During early nineteenth century, Hunza resented Kashmir's attempts to gain
control and its rulers periodically expelled Kashmir garrisons, threatended
Gilgit, and politicked with the rulers of Kashgar to the north where the
Russians were gaining influence. Fearing Russians infiltration into their
northern frontiers, the British took over direct political control at Gilgit in
1889. Incesant fratricidal intrigues in Hunza and Nagar made the areas doubly
insecure. This, coupled with the Mir of Hunza's consistent intransigence induced
the British to march on Hunza in December 1891, where they fought a decisive
battle at Nilit, 60 km beyond Diaynor Bridge. After this the British garrisoned
Aliabad until 1897 when Hunza became a princely state protected by the
Government of British India. After the Pakistan was created in 1947, the people
of Hunza also gained liberation and the princely state was merged in Pakistan.
