Mingora city at full moon night!

Mingora is the largest city in Swat District, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It is located at an altitude of 984 metres [3,228 ft] and lies on the banks of River Swat about 2 kilometres from Saidu Sharif, the present capital of Swat. The city was once a major tourist destination and was described by Queen Elizabeth as the "Switzerland" of the former Empire.

Many Buddhist remains and carvings have been discovered near Mingora in the Jambill River Valley. At Panr, a stupa and monastery dated to the 1st century CE has been excavated. At Loe Banr and Matalai, Italian archaeologists unearthed 475 Aryan graves dated circa 1700 BCE.

On the opposite side of River Swat at Aligrama, near the Saidu Sharif airport, a site of Gandhara grave culture was discovered by Italian archaeologists which has been dated to circa 10,000 BCE.
