Siran Valley is a valley situated near the banks of Siran River in Pakhli region of District Mansehra, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.[1][2] Swati is the biggest landlord family of this valley. Siran valley consists of many union councils including Bhogarmang and Sacha Kalan.
Etymology of the name
[edit]The valley gets its name from the River Siran which flows through it.
Geography
[edit]The Siran River originates from the Mandagucha Glacier and merges into the Tarbela lake. The Siran issues by the glaciers of glorious mountains and flows through the western plain of Pakhli. Two canals have been taken out from the Siran River, the upper Siran canal at Dharial and lower Siran canal at Shinkiari. From Pakhli the Siran runs into the Tanawal hills and joins the Indus at Tarbela in the northwest. Its total course is between 70 miles and 80 miles, and it irrigates 6,273 acres of land.[2]
Tourism
[edit]Siran Valley is considered one of the "most beautiful valleys" of Pakistan.[citation needed][by whom?] With the peaks like Musa ka Musalla and Chukro peaks, meadows like Baleja, Saraan, Khandagali, Aram Gali, Darwaza ali, Chor and Mundi and forest like Jacha, Mandagucha, Dhor, Kundbangla and Sathan Gali, Siran valley is full of scenic landmarks.[citation needed]
