[5][6] The Kaghan Valley is located in the Hazara region of Pakistan,[9] and borders the Pakistani-administered territories of Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir to the north and east, respectively.

[11] Alongside the flow of the Kunhar River, the valley features glaciers, crystal-like clear lakes, waterfalls and frosty mountain streams.

[30] These include Cedrus deodara, Pinus wallichiana, Abies pindrow, Taxus wallichiana, Picea smithiana, and broad-leaved plants such as Juglans regia, Aesculus indica, Prunus padus, Fraxinus excelscior, Ailanthus glandulosa, Diospyrus lotus, Morus alba and Ficus indica.

In 2020, an ethnobotanical survey conducted in valley reported the uses of Cederella serrata for treating chronic infantile dysentery.

[31] Most of the communities residing in the region including Syed, Kashmiris, Durranis (Jadoon), Swati, Gujjar and Mughal families, settled here from their ancestors.

[38] In contemporary times, Lalazar has evolved into a well-known village, emerging as a burgeoning tourist destination within the valley.

The rich cultural heritage associated with Lalazar continues to attract visitors, offering a glimpse into the enduring allure of this captivating narrative.

However, societal resistance prevailed, and Munshi faced rejection from the locals, ultimately meeting a tragic end at their hands.

This woodland has since become a popular destination within the valley, celebrated for its breathtaking beauty, diverse wildlife, and suitability for hiking adventures.
