Tourism
Kharkari Lake is located approximately 45 kilometres from Kalam Valley and 23 kilometres from Utror Gabral area. Cradled by mountains, the body of water separates Swat from Chitral. A fork from Gabral leads to two areas – Kharkhari and Kamrat Valley. In the neighbourhood of Kharkhari is the Pilaya Lake, which is located between two mountains. Pilaya leads to Mastooj which connects Chitral to the area.

Kharkhari Lake has become a popular summer destination for tourists. Efforts to preserve Kharkhari Lake are underway, primarily due to tourist interaction.
