Experience the adventure of a lifetime by hiking up the rugged trails of Koh-e-Murdaar. The trek introduces you to the stark and splendid landscape of Urak Valley, where you can immerse yourself in the unspoiled beauty of nature. Along the way, you will encounter endemic wildlife, rare plant species, and breathtaking panoramic views of the valley below. The hike is considered moderately challenging, so a good level of physical fitness is recommended. Guides are available to not only lead the way but also to educate hikers about the local flora, fauna, and geological features that make this area unique. Remember to carry enough water, some snacks, and most importantly, your camera to capture the stunning vistas. The climb up and return can take anywhere from 4 to 6 hours, depending on your pace and how frequently you stop to enjoy the scenery.
Enjoy a day out with family and friends picnicking at the Urak Waterfall, a hidden gem at the heart of the valley. The waterfall creates a serene environment and a refreshing escape from the city noise. The picnic area is well-maintained with spots for visitors to set up their picnic mats and enjoy the surrounding natural splendor. It's the perfect location to relax to the sound of cascading water and chirping birds. Urak Waterfall is also a fantastic spot for nature photography. Picnickers are advised to bring their food and supplies, as the area's amenities are minimal. A visit here can be an all-day affair, starting in the morning and lasting until sunset, giving you plenty of time to also take short walks along the streams or simply bask in the peaceful atmosphere.
The Urak Valley is famed for its lush orchards, and the fruit-picking activity is a way for visitors to connect with nature and experience local agricultural practices. Depending on the season, you can spend a delightful day picking apples, cherries, apricots, or peaches directly from the trees. The orchard owners typically explain the picking process, and you might even get a chance to taste the fruits as you gather them. Some orchards offer tours that include a brief history of the area's agriculture, detailing the local varieties of fruits and their significance to the region's economy. Be sure to inquire about the best time to visit for fruit picking, as the duration will depend on the fruit season and the orchard's operating hours, but generally lasts between 2 to 4 hours.
