Let start from Besham.15 kilometres approx from Besham you will reach Dobair Bazaar(a kohistani settlement) on KKH.25 km(approx)from Dibair Bazaar there is a village name PATTAN.There is a bridge across the indus at the same place and a difficult jeep track from here will lead you to the the magical valley of Palas.
Although Lower Palas valley is accessible from Jeep but Upper Palas valley is inaccessible but as you know that the beauty is always Hidden.Lower Palas is no doubt a magical place with its forests and uncounted meadows.But the place in Picture is called “Ledi” located in upper Palas valley.The meadows of Ledi and Palas are popular among locals too and some meadows and pastures of Palas Valley are still the cause of cold wars between the tribes of Allai valley and Palas.Allai valley is just at the east of Palas.
