Gabin Jabba (Pashto: ګبين جبه), which in Pashto means Honey marshes, is located approximately 65 km from Mingora on Matta Sakhra road within the Swat valley of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.[1] It is an area in Swat Valley with green meadows, thick forests, snow-clad mountains, mineral springs and high peaks. Gabin Jabba elevation is 2582m (8471ft) from the sea level.[2]
The region has some medicinal plants, attracting researchers who undertake researches in this region. Honey Bees are found here, contributing to the Swat honey,[3] famous throughout Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.[citation needed][4] Moreover, Gabin Jabba serves as a gateway to the Daral Lake, situated at an elevation of over 500 meters beyond Gabin Jabba's altitude.
