Malam Jabba in Pakistan

[K.Haroon]

First time skied here in Feb 2017. Malam Jabba is a hill station in the Hindu Kush mountain range nearly 40 km from Saidu Sharif in Swat Valley, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It is 314 km from Islamabad and 51 km from Saidu Sharif Airport. The Malam Jabba Ski Resort, owned by the Samsons Group of Companies, has a ski slope of about 800 m with the highest point of the slope 2804 m (9200 ft) above sea level. Malam Jabba Ski Resort was possible due to the joint efforts of the Pakistan government and its Austrian counterpart.
