Kalam (Kalami, Pashto and Urdu: کالام) is a valley located in the Swat Kohistan region of Swat District in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan.[2][3] It is the site where the Swat River forms as a result of the confluence of two major tributaries, the Gabral and Ushu rivers.[4][5]
Located 99 kilometres (62 mi) north from Mingora and at an elevation of about 2,000 m (6,600 ft) above sea level, the valley itself provides a plateau that is located above the river and is used for farming.[6] There are a number of visible mountains, also visible from Matiltan, a valley close to Kalam Valley, including Mount Falak Sar at 5,918 meters (19,416 feet), and another unnamed peak at 6,096 meters (20,000 feet) high.[7]
