Palai, Malakand

Palai Dara has produced several poets including Anwar Hussain Zarin, Khaliq Dad Omeed, and Asfandyar Zia.

The area is home to approximately 171,000 fruit-bearing trees; playing a vital role in the purification of the air and acting as a habitat to countless species of both flora and fauna.

Besides that, the orchards of the area attract tens of thousands of bees during the flowering season every year, serving as a homestead to the honey-making business.

In the past few years, the area has observed an exponential increase in the number of trees and orchards, because of the government's arrangement of the water canal.

The construction of Swat Expressway (especially Palai Interchange) is supposed to take the area's agriculture and apiculture industries to a whole new level because, for the first time in history, the producers will get an opportunity to showcase their products in bigger markets; both nationally and internationally.
