In a nutshell
I think these beautiful places are a small drop from Heaven
10 Reviews A trip to Kaghan Valley is incomplete without a visit to legendary Lake Saiful Maluk. The lake is named after prince Saif-ul-Maluk who fell in love here with a fairy from the mountains. It is 9 km away from Naran. Situated at a height of 10,500 feet from sea level. Take a Jeep from Naran. It takes...
7 Reviews Shogran is one of the most beautiful Plateaus in the valley. It is situated at a distance of 34 km from Balakot. On the way from Balakot to Naran, there is a place called KEWAI. Take a side road on the right after passing through Kewai. From there it will take you around 30 minutes to reach...
4 Reviews Lalazar is extremely picturesque landscape at an elevation of 3200m (10400 feet). It is scenic spot with thick forest of pine & fir. It is also a full day trip like Saiful Maluk. One day you can go to explore Saiful Maluk. Next day you can plan a trip to Lalazar. It is 21 km away from Naran. A...
3 Reviews Most of the people coming to Kaghan Valley stick to Naran & Lake Saiful Maluk. They don't go further. There are several beautiful Lakes in this valley, which should not be missed. Dudipatsar Lake is one of them. According to many it is far more beautiful than Lake Saiful Maluk. Dudipatsar means...
7 Reviews River Kunhar flows in the center of Kaghan Valley. Kaghan, Naran & several other beautiful towns & villages are situated on the banks of River Kunhar. While staying in Naran you can enjoy sitting by the Kunhar River. It is looks very Romantic. Velley looks very beautiful around the river. River...
5 Reviews A wonderful excursion from Shogran is a visit to Sari Paya. From Shogran a road climbs through thick pine forest to the top of Paya ridge, a lush green meadow with spectacular view of Malika Parbat. View of Makra Top is also picturesque. Trekkers can also hike to Makra Top, which is around 2500 feet...

It is the headwaters ( main reservoir) of Kunhar River. It is situated on main road which goes from Naran to Babusar Pass & forther to...
2 Reviews Food at Royal hotel's restaurant was really nice. I had most of my meals there, during my stay in Naran, for the same reason. Prices were reasonable, food delicious and service better then rest of the restaurants. The restaurant used to close at 10 p.m. Their chicken chowmin and chicken corn soup...
2 Reviews Food at Erum hotel is really good. Their open air Bar-B-Q with huge sitting space is very popular. If you want to eat good Pakistani, Continental or Chinese food then simply go to Erum Hotel's resturant. Their breakfast items are simply the best. I would strongly recommend their Halwa, Puri with...
2 Reviews There is as such no special night life or activity in Naran. You can just enjoy and move around in main bazar. Or you can just watch tourists making deals with jeep guys for next day trips. You can also watch people busy in dinning at restaurants or shopping at huts. Dress properly as the local...

Namdas and Carved Walnut handicrafts
1 Review Kaghan is well known for its woolen shawals and "Namda" (woolen rugs). Carved walnut handicrafts are also available and could be nice gift. Great varieties of handicrafts are available. artificial jewelry and gems are also available but prices are very high. Bargain as much as you can to get the...
1 Review Do not shake hands with women as they do not like it. They would get away from you even if you try to talk with them. Don't even try to take their photograph as they feel offended and your camera might be taken away by their men. These men are very agressive and you might get in trouble so be aware.
1 Review Make sure that you have all necessary medicines with you if your destination is Kaghan, Naran or Shogran. There are no medicines, medical store and hospital in this area where you can go incase of emergency. The only nearby hospital used to be three hours way in Balakot, the city that has...
1 Review One used to enjoy trip to Naran on a wonderful wide n carpeted road built by FWO. The road has totally vanished after October 08, 2005 earthquake. Temporary road is been made but it often gets closed after aftershocks coz of land slides. River Kunhar keep on moving along the road, some time...
Be aware of Rent-a-jeep Brokers
1 Review Rent-a-jeep is one of the most popular business in Naran as the city serves as base for all near by tourist spots. Many drivers with their jeeps wait in main bazar for tourists to come and get a deal. One thing which is very important is that you should talk directly with driver about how much he is...

2 Reviews For beginners or people who just want to walk a short distance, a gentle walk starting from PTDC hotel, over a bridge takes you to the other side of River Kunhar. Veer left and follow the trail. A small track follows Kunhar for a short distance till you reach another make shift bridge (see picture)....
