Saidgai Lake (Pashto: سيدګۍ ډنډ; Urdu: سیدگئی جھیل) also known as Saidgai Dand is a lake in the upper reaches of the Ushirai Dara within the Upper Dir District of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It is located at an elevation of 11,500 feet (3,500 m) above the sea level.[1] It is located to the northwest of Gabin Jabba. The temperature is normally about 5 °C to 10 °C during hot months. Primarily, this lake attracts tourists from Dir as well as other regions of the country, especially during the months of June, July, and August. However, for the rest of the months, the lake remains covered by snow. Saidgai lake is at the boundary of Dir Upper and Swat.
Saidgai Lake is situated in the hilly expanses of the Usherai Dara in Upper Dir. It is about 7–8 hours away by foot from Usherai Darra.[citation needed] Dwellers of both Dir and Swat claims the area comes under the Dir Upper's administration geopolitically. The lake is encircled by snowy mountains and pastures. The lake is approximately 1 km in length and half km in width, and its waters run into streams, later joining the Panjkora River of Dir.[citation needed]

From Chitkarai, the distance by foot is around 4–5 hours.
