The Kaghan Valley is an alpine river valley carved by the Kunhar River in Mansehra District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It stretches about 155 kilometres, rising from roughly 650 metres at its lowest point to the Babusar Pass at about 4,170 metres, and its highest peak, Malika Parbat, reaches around 5,290 metres. The 2005 Kashmir earthquake triggered landslides that destroyed many of the passes leading into the valley, though the roads have since been rebuilt, and the valley remains a popular tourist destination in Pakistan.
