About Naran Kaghan

Naran Kaghan Valley is one of the most loved mountain destinations in Pakistan, where turquoise lakes, alpine meadows, glacier-fed rivers and snow-capped peaks come together in one long, scenic valley. The journey usually begins from Islamabad towards Abbottabad and Mansehra, then continues to Balakot, the gateway to the valley. From here, the road follows the Kunhar River upward, with pine forests, small bazaars, waterfalls and roadside trout points along the way. A short stop at Shogran and Siri Paye is a popular side trip for sunrise views and green meadows.

Further ahead, the valley opens up at Kaghan and Naran, the heart of any trip here. Naran is a lively town on the riverbank with hotels, local markets and fresh trout restaurants. A jeep ride leads to Saif-ul-Malook Lake, a stunning glacial lake beneath Malika Parbat, the tallest peak of the valley. Nearby, Lalazar, Lake Dudipatsar and Ansoo Lake reward adventurous travelers with unforgettable views. Beyond Naran, the road climbs to Babusar Top, a high mountain pass connecting the valley with Gilgit-Baltistan.

Evenings in Naran Kaghan Valley are relaxed and memorable. You can enjoy freshly cooked trout, hot kahwa and chai, riverside camping, cozy hotel stays and bonfire nights under clear mountain skies. The cool weather and open scenery make it a perfect escape from the summer heat.

With a good mix of easy sightseeing, light adventure and peaceful nature, Naran Kaghan Valley suits families, couples, friends and solo travelers alike. It is easily reachable from Islamabad, making even a short 3-day trip worthwhile.
