Balakot is a town in the Mansehra Area within the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa area of Pakistan. The city was devastated amid the 2005 Kashmir seismic tremor. Still, it was revamped with the help of the Government of Pakistan and Saudi Open Help for Pakistan Seismic Tremor Casualties (SPAPEV), a Saudi help association. Balakot also serves as a hub for visitors going to Northern Areas.

Balakot is found on the right bank of the Kunhar Stream. It is nearly two-thirds of the waterway length from its beginning at Lake Dharam Sar profound within the Kaghan Valley; sometime recently, it converted with Jehlum River. The lower zone underneath Balakot, alluded to as Nainsukh Valley, is calm. Kaghan Valley above Balakot City is cold enough to turn the entire region solidifying within the winter. Kaghan Valley could be an incredible summer spot. Its upper portion from Naran upstream needs the storm, but the lower portion gets it well and is forested. Balakot is presently a growing city and middle among the removed northern parts of Pakistan. Smaller villages are found within the terraced mountains around it.
