Jahaz Banda to Badgoi Top & Dasht-e-Laila | Off-Road Jeep Adventure in Kumrat Valley

Welcome to one of the most thrilling jeep tracks of northern Pakistan! Today we’ll take you from the lush green meadows of Jahaz Banda to the breathtaking Badgoi Top and finally to the magical plains of Dasht-e-Laila.

Surrounded by pine forests and alpine meadows, Jahaz Banda is a traveler’s paradise. From here begins a rugged jeep track that promises both adventure and unmatched views. We hired jeep from Taki top for 25000 rupees to visit Badgoi top and Dasht-e- Lailia and back to Thal.
The track winds through steep climbs, sharp turns, and rocky paths. Every twist opens up stunning scenery – snow-capped peaks on one side and lush valleys on the other.
At an altitude of around 12,000 feet, Badgoi Top greets you with panoramic views stretching towards Dir and Swat. The cold winds and silence of the mountains make this stop unforgettable.

From Badgoi Top, the jeep track descends into wide open plains.

This is Dasht-e-Laila – literally “Desert of Laila” – a flat green pasture surrounded by mighty peaks. Google names is Dasht-e-Fatima but everyone there was naming it Dasht-e-Laila.
In summer, nomads bring their herds here, giving the valley a picture-perfect look straight out of a fairy-tale. It’s the perfect place to camp, capture drone shots, or simply enjoy nature in its purest form.

“This jeep track from Jahaz Banda to Badgoi Top and Dasht-e-Laila isn’t just a route – it’s a journey through some of the most untouched and scenic landscapes of Pakistan. If you love off-roading and adventure, this ride should be on your bucket list.”
