Daral Lake (Urdu: درال جھیل), also known as Daral Dand, is an alpine lake within the Bahrain region of the Swat Valley in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It is situated to the northeast of Saidgai Lake.^[1] The lake appears as a giant amoeba in shape. Near the lake, there is an ancient mosque where shepherds and visitors offer their prayers and use it as a resting place for the night.^[2] Daral Lake is just one of many hidden gems in its surroundings.
