Jarogo Waterfall, also known as Jarogo Banda Waterfall, is a waterfall located in Matta Tehsil in Swat District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the province of Pakistan. It is one of the famous waterfalls of Swat Valley. It is about 30 kilometres (19 mi) from Matta Tehsil and 53 kilometres (33 mi) from Mingora.[1]

Etymology

The word Jarogo means broom in Pashto but its history goes back to the ancient times of the Hindu Shahi period in Swat. There was a Hindu woman named Jarogai, who was widely known and esteemed in the surrounding areas, so the people named it after her.[1]
