A tall, powerful waterfall in a green side valley of Kharmang.
Manthokha Waterfall is in Kharmang, about three hours from Skardu. It’s a full day trip, best from May to October when the flow is strong and the valley is green. Many travellers combine it with Khaplu or use it as an alternative when Deosai is closed.
