Chitral and Gilgit are arranged in the north, Dir in the west, and Mardan in the south, while Indus isolates it from Hazara in the east. Actual Features: Swat Valley can be separated into two actual areas:
- Mountainous Ranges
- Plains.
Hilly Ranges
As referenced above, Swat lies in the lap of Mountainous Ranges, which are the branches of Hindukush, so the bigger piece of Swat Valley is covered with high mountains and slopes, the peaks of which are concealed by never-ending snow. However, these tremendous Ranges run sporadically: some toward the west while the others toward the east, yet the overall course is North-South. These reaches encase little however exceptionally captivating valleys.
Eastern reaches
In Kohistan-e-Swat Valley the main bunch of eastern reaches is Mankial. Its northern branches separate Kohistan-e-Swat Valley from Abasin Kohistan. These reach structure an obstruction among Gilgit and Swat, and among Chitral and Swat. The southern expansion of Mankial ranges arrives at legitimate Swat. There they join Shangla ranges.
Shangla ranges separate appropriate Swat Valley from Shangla Par region (Shangla Par area). In the Shangla area, there are Karora Ranges, which separates Puran from Kanra and Ghurband. The continuation of the Shangla ranges joins Dwasaray.
From one perspective Dwasaray isolates lower Swat Valley from Puran, on the other, it put away the Buner from Puran. Presently the overall Direction of the reaches turns toward the west.
Here it is called Elum. Elum Ranges is a major divider between the legitimate Swat Valley and Buner. The Elum runs finally join piles of Malakand.
Western reaches
Western reaches start from the mountain and slopes of Gabral, Kohistan-e-Swat. It joins the slopes of Kundal (Utror). There these reaches meet Daral Ranges. These reach structure a line with Dir locale. They run westward and are named by the territory. For instance, Lalko ranges Manrai and Chaprai and so on finally they join the slopes of Adenzee and Shamozee. Manrai ranges ship off certain branches.
Fields
As a matter of fact, the valley of Swat Valley begins from the lower region of Malakand yet we are worried about segments from Landakay to Gabriel (Gulabad), the region inside the regulatory limits of Swat. The length of the valley from Londakay to Gabriel is 90 km.
Two restricted segments of fields run along the banks of Swat Valley River from Landakay to Madyan. Past Madyan in Kohistan-e-Swat, the arrangement is too little to even think about being referenced. So far as the width concerns, it isn't comparable, it differs from one spot to another. We can say that the normal width is 5 miles. The largest piece of the Swat Valley is among Barikot and khwaza khela.
The largest viewpoint and the beguiling sight where a significant part of the valley is seen is at Gulibagh on the fundamental street, which prompts Madyan. There are some auxiliary valleys, which help to build the width of the fundamental valley.
These auxiliary valleys are classified as "Daras". A Dara a thin section among mountains, and now and then, the upper course of a stream is likewise called Dara.
On the off chance that we envision the principal Swat Valley as a stem of a tree the structure of the auxiliary valley has its branches. Smack River and its feeder’s channel Swat Valley. There front, the entire valley is the result of running water. This streaming water cuts the upper courses profoundly and streams the heap of washed-away materials.
As the slope is more noteworthy in the upper course so the disintegration is for huge scope, especially in the mid-year downpours, when every one of the waterways is in flood.
The enormous rocks and stones are rolled, which causes more annihilation in the upper courses. At the point when the stacked water ranges to the spaces of low angle, the heavier materials are saved. The affidavit happens as per the slant, by and large,
we notice, that the upper course is comprised of enormous rocks, the center course is of generally little stones, rocks, and garbage, while the lower course is made of fine mud. At any rate, the entire plain of Swat valley is tossed by the running water and is comprised of fine alluvial soil.
