Mahodand Lake
Pc: Fahad Haniff
Mahodand Lake is a lake located in the upper Usho Valley at a distance of about 40 km from Kalam, Swat District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan Administered Kashmir. The lake is accessible by a four-wheel drivevehicle, and is often utilized for fishing and boating.
The Mahodand Lake lies at the foothills of Hindu kush mountains at an elevation of (9,603 ft), surrounded by the meadows, mountains and dense forests. Similarly, the banks of Mahodand lake are covered by pines and pastures that serve as a camping site during the summer.
The Mahodand lake is fed by melting glaciers and springs of the Hindu Kush mountain and gives rise to Ushu Khwar, the major left tributary of the Swat River.

Photo by @ralfdujmovits / An hour after descending Gondogoro La (5625 m) in strong snowfall we arrived at the amazingly green oasis of Hisbang (4695 m). In front of us on the descent was needle-shaped Laila Peak (6069 m), for me one of the most beautiful mountains in the world.
Laila Peak was first climbed in 1987 by Brits Simon Yates, Sean Smith and Mark Miller. The first ski descent was made by Fredrik Ericsson and Jörgen Aamont.
