Kumrat Valley Trip Cost 2026: Camping Done Right

Kumrat is not a hotel destination — it is a camping trip through deodar forest, and the cost works differently from Naran or Swat. Here is what to budget in 2026.

The short answer

Tour type	Duration	Typical price (per person)
Group camping tour	4 days	PKR 22,000 – 32,000
Group (with Katora Lake)	5 days	PKR 30,000 – 40,000
Private camping	5 days	PKR 55,000 – 75,000

The drive in is long — through Dir to Thal, then a rough jeep track up the valley. That distance, plus camping gear and food, is most of the cost.

What the price buys

Most packages are full-board camping on the riverbanks among the cedars, because there are no real hotels. The Katora Lake excursion — jeep to Jahaz Banda meadow then a two-to-three hour hike — is the showpiece and sometimes a separate day.

Where prices creep up

Kumrat is strictly June–September. Peak summer weekends fill the riverside camps; midweek is calmer and cheaper.
