Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has blessed with splendid lakes; but Saidgai lake is perhaps one of the lakes that has a charm that's unrivaled anywhere in the province. Whoever have the nerve to tour it, have been fascinated by its stunning beauty. Lying high in the lap of lofty mountains separating Dir and Swat valleys, it's accessible from both the valleys via different access routes. It's one of the highest lakes of Pakistan fed by glacier water; having a length and width of about 1.5 and 1 kilometres respectively. Its average elevation from sea-level is about 10,000 feet. Towered by high mountains on three sides while draining by Usherai Khwar, a small torrent stream, rushes down the valley in vast swathes of pasture, on the fourth side.
