In a nutshell
I think these beautiful places are a small drop from Heaven
11 Reviews P.S. This is a forum reply. Also this is an email of a friend in reply to my querries who has been to Naran. Kaghan is really a place worth to visit. These places are like small pieces of heaven on this planet, it would be an adventure too specially journey to Ansoo Lake, Normally women don't go...
6 Reviews You should not miss a trip to Forest Rest House. Most of people sit and relax in its huge lush green lawns. Entry might be restricted when senior officials visit or stay at rest house. Views of Sri Paya and Musa Da Mussalah peak are really nice from the lawns of rest house.
8 Reviews Its amazing! Kaghan Valley is full of different natural beauties like lakes,rivers & mountains etc. But where there is a mountain there will be a water fall as well such case is in this beautiful valley. During your tour around the Valley on the main road you will come across several water-falls...
4 Reviews Lalazar is the second visit that most tourist do when visiting Naram (Saiful Muluk is the first). Situated on the other end of Lake Saiful Muluk, over the mountain, this is a small resort worth visiting. A large green plateau gives a nice view of the valley below. Now this is a hair raising jeep...
5 Reviews Seri Paya is a plateua above the hill station of Shogran. The views are breathaking. On one side are the Black Mountains of Kaghan Valley, and the other side gives you a view of Mt. Makra. One can also hike all the way to Mt. Makra (1 day hike). At Paya there is a very small lake, and further up...
2 Reviews Dudiptsar is another beautiful lake encircled by snow clad peaks. The word "dudi" means white and "sar" means lake. This name has been given to the lake because of the white color of snow at surrounding peaks. In summer the water of lake reflects like a mirror. Its not easy to visit this lake as...
3 Reviews Lulusar lake is 48 kilometers away from Naran at an altitude of 11,000 feet (3352.8 m) on Naran-Babusar road. It is wreathed in blue and gold wild flowers, and is the main source of river Kunhar. From this lake, river Kunhar flow down the valley first as blue stream. And then as a roaring torrent...
3 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 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 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...
6 Reviews i just came back from naran on the 31st of july 2011,i have to disagree with all those people who are writing here that there is no road beyond balakot or that its a mud road that you cant drive on,folks its all B.*** the road from islamabad to naran is as good as the new highway from islamabad to...
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 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...
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...
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)....
besal Says: From hiking, mountain biking, fishing, river rafting, mountain climbing, swiming, outdoor adventure, paragliding, etc, Kaghan valley offers a haven for all such activities. Although majority of the activities are in their infancy, with proper investments, all this could be...
