There are several things that keep pushing us, over and over, to visit the Marghazar Valley in Swat: Mount Elum, the lush green gorgeous landscape, serene environment, its historical sacredness, and above all, the White Palace of the state era in its lap.

Located about 13 kilometres southward from Saidu Sharif, the magnificent royal building of the White Palace sits amidst the lush greenery of the narrow valley of Marghazar, in wait to throw a magical spell over tourists as soon they take their first step into its spacious lawn.

According to Miangul Shehryar Amir Zeb, who is the grandson of Miangul Jahanzeb (the last ruler of Swat), Miangul Abdul Wadood Badshah sahab visited Rajasthan in India, and was fascinated by the white marble used for the palace of the Maharaja of Rajasthan.

There are a number of old historical photos in one of the verandas of the White Palace, including those of Miangul Abdul Wadood and Miangul Jahanzeb Abdul Haq – the last ruler of the modern state – and Queen Elizabeth II, during her visit to Swat.

From the King's lobby, one can enjoy a stunning view of the garden lawn; and from the King's veranda, a splendid view of the lush green mountains and a swirling stream of crystal clear water.

Marghuzar Valley is a famous tourists attraction which to this day remains flocked with tourists in the summer, as well as winter seasons. In the summer, tourists enjoy its pleasant weather, cold water springs, ripe persimmons, apricot and peaches and high peak mountains. And in winter, the valley attracts tourists for its unending white snow sheet.

In both seasons, the White Palace stands tall, casting a spell of enchantment on all who visit.
