Every home in Swat had a Garwanj.
A handcrafted wooden rack, holding clay pots — each filled with something pure, essential, kept with pride. We built this marketplace in exactly that spirit.
From a problem we lived.
If you grew up around Swat, you know the truth: the honey, the ghee, the dry fruits sold online as “Swati” are mostly not. Real makers — families who’ve done this for generations — get undercut by counterfeits, while buyers overpay for fakes.
We were tired of it. So we built Garwanj: a marketplace where every single vendor is met in person, verified, and held to their word. Clear prices and maker stories. No mystery about where things come from.
Three promises we don’t break
Verified, always
We physically visit and verify every vendor in Swat. If it carries our badge, it’s genuinely from Swat — guaranteed.
Fair to the maker
Transparent marketplace fees. Vendors keep what their work is truly worth, and you pay an honest price.
Rooted in Swat
We’re based here, we speak the language, and we’re building something lasting for our own valley — not from a distant office.
Vendors verified in person

Tolerance for fakes
Valley we call home
A valley that makes things worth protecting.
Swat’s high-altitude forests, glacial water and generations of craft produce some of Pakistan’s finest organic goods — honey, walnuts, ghee, saffron, carved wood and pottery.
Garwanj exists to make sure that reputation actually reaches the people who make it — and the buyers who deserve the real thing.
