One thought on “Gabin Jabba

  1. Gabin Jabba is a famous tourist destination in swat and is one of my favorite places to visit any time of the year. I had the opportunity to visit Gabin Jabba in both the winter and summer seasons and I can tell you that I have never seen such an amazing place in my life before. My very recent travel experience was in winter 2021, the snowfall made my trip more exciting than my previous trip in summer 2019.

    Based on my experience if you are vising Gabin Jabba alone or with adults then, you can go and stay in the camping pods or you can bring your own tent if you wish. If you are visiting Gabin Jabba with children during the winter especially in the snowfall season, then probably a day trip (or multiple day trips) from the main swat city would be the best option for you unless you have sorted an appropriate accommodation there.
