Gabral (also spelled Gabrāl or Ghabral) is a village in the Swat District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan. It is located on the slopes of the western end of the Himalayas, at the lower end of the Gabral Valley, where the Gabral River joins the Utror River, a tributary of the Swat River. It is about 7 km northwest (by road) from Utror, 20 km west of Kalam, and 120 km of Saidu Sharif.[1]
The downtown area is located about 500 m north of the mouth of the Gabral River. The village consists of a few hundred houses scattered along the valley bottom, in a band 200-500 m wide, on both sides of the Gabral River, starting about 7 km north of the junction, and continuing down the Utror valley until it merges with the town of Utror. The main road of the town runs next to the river and up the valley, for about 14 km. A few farms are seen up to that point.[1]
Gabral is a Village council of the Union Council Utor.
