Sherwan

Sherwan is a Tehsil in the Abbottabad District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, situated 35 km west of Abbottabad. The area is composed of two adjacent villages: Sherwan Kalan to the north and Sherwan Khurd to the south. Positioned on a ridge of 5,000 feet in the heart of Lower Tanawal Sherwan is surrounded by large, forested mountains on three sides, creating a scenic valley landscape.

These forests are home to diverse wildlife, including jackals, wolves, wild boars, porcupines, foxes, and occasionally leopards. Sherwan Kalan covering a larger area, contrasts with the smaller Sherwan Khurd. To the northeast of Sherwan Union Council lies the village of Patheel, while to the west is the village of Bacha Kalan. A stream called Mangal flows to the south of the valley, providing habitat for various fish species such as trout, Eels, and soles.
