The Kaghan Valley (Hindko, Urdu: وادئ کاغان) is an alpine river valley traversed by Kunhar River in Mansehra District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The valley stretches 155 kilometres (96 mi) in northern Pakistan, rising from its lowest elevation of 650 m (2,134 ft) to the Babusar Pass around 4,170 m (13,690 ft). The highest mountain peak in the valley, known as Malika Parbat (lit. 'Queen of Mountains'), stands at a height of around 5,290 metres (17,360 ft).

Landslides triggered by the devastating 2005 Kashmir earthquake destroyed many passes leading into the valley, though roads have since been rebuilt. Kaghan is a popular tourist attraction in Pakistan.
