Swabi is home to two great rivers, the Indus and the Kabul. There are also
several smaller streams. Maini has a unique stream; the water emerges from the
centre of the village. It is used for irrigation. This stream is called
china
in the local language, meaning "spring". The villages of Kotha, Topi
and Maini are collectively called
Utman. They all have natural springs
called
china in Maini,
chino in Kotha and
bayin in Topi.
Swabi is famous for the famous Pashtun folk love story of Yusuf Khan and
Sherbano. Visitors come to the village of Shera Ghund and climb Karamar
Mountain
