[2] Every summer season, thousands of tourists from different areas of the Pakistan and abroad visit Kumrat Valley for its greenery and cool weather.

Another feature of Kumrat Valley is its towering Deodar forest trees located on level ground adjacent the Panjkora river.

At several places, the Panjkora River divides into channels, on the banks of which a few makeshift camping spots offer accommodation to tourists.

[5] Deodar forest is fast depleting in Dir Kohistan Valley and it continues unhindered as the locals claim that they have no other source of fuel for heating and cooking purposes in the harsh winter season.

The people of Kohistan Valley had offered the government in the 2010s that they were ready stop cutting Deodar trees if they were provided with a natural gas facility.
