Kunhar River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kunhar River (Urdu: دریائے کنہار) is located in North-West Frontier Province, Pakistan. A main source of the river is Lulusar lake, nearly 48km from Naran Valley. Glaciers of Malka Parbat and Makra Peak and the water of Saiful Muluk lake feed it too. The river flows through the entire Kaghan Valley through Jalkhand, Naran, Kaghan, Jared, Paras and Balakot, and joins the Jhelum River.

Brown Trout and Mahasheer are stocked in pure silvery waters between Kaghan and Naran Valleys. The Kunhar river trout is considered to be the best throughout the sub-continent. Fishing licenses are issued by the 'Fisheries Department' at Naran' or by the 'Trout Hatchery' at Shinu.
