The Hazara Waterfalls, Jab Valley[1][2][3] (ہزارہ آبشار جب وادی) are a group of eight waterfalls located in Jab Valley of Haripur District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The site has gained attention in recent years for its scenic value and potential as an eco-tourism destination in the Hazara region.
Geography
The waterfalls are situated in the mountainous Jab Valley of Haripur District, approximately 25 kilometres from Haripur city and about 60–80 kilometres from Islamabad. The valley lies at an elevation of around 3,000–3,600 feet above sea level. The streams feeding the waterfalls eventually flow into the Haro River, which passes Bhamala before joining Khanpur Dam.[4][5]
Tourism
The Hazara waterfalls include eight distinct cascades of varying height and flow. Some are surrounded by rock formations, while others form natural pools that attract visitors. Reports suggest that the tallest waterfall in the valley measures nearly 120 metres (400 ft).[6][7]
Since their popularisation, the waterfalls have attracted thousands of domestic tourists, particularly during public holidays such as Eid. Social media platforms, hiking groups, and travel vloggers have contributed significantly to the site’s popularity.[8][9]
Development
In 2024–25, development work on the Hazara Waterfalls was initiated with support from the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF-Pakistan) and the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.[10][11]
