Elum Ghar is a mountain on the west side of Pir Baba in the Buner District of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of Pakistan. Its height is 2,800 metres (9,200 ft). Mingora, a city of Swat District, can be seen from the top of the mountain. Hiking this mountain is a popular activity due to the many streams and beautiful lakes that can be seen while going up the mountain.
The area has some sites that have ruins of the Indus Valley Civilization. Some of them have been roughly dug out by the locals in search of the idols, utensils, and other archaeological items, but most of the historic items are believed to be still lying untouched. There is a great treasure of knowledge awaiting archaeologists and historians in this area.
The mountain has snakes and cobras near the top. There is a local proverb that says, Chey maar zuan shi nu elum ta zee, which means, "when the snake becomes a youth, it goes to Elum".
Every year at the end of July or at the beginning of August the festival of "Jushn-e-Elum" is held. it is celebrated by the youth from nearby villages, mainly by Balokhanians and Malakporians. The celebration is an opportunity to get out of the heat of the valley and stay for a couple of days in the cold weather of the mountain.
