It is situated 8km (05miles) from Kalam and 123km (76miles) km from Mingora in the Swat Kohistan region, at the height of 2,300 meters (7,550 feet).[1] Usho is known for its beautiful cloudy and rainy forest. Tourist attraction Mahodand lake is located 27km (17miles) from there.[2] In winter, the famous Ushu glacier blocks the only path to the Mahodand lake and this path is only opened again in Summer, when the snow of the glacier melts and the authorities wipe of the remaining snow from the road.
