Arang Kel felt like a different world — the chairlift ride up is an experience in itself.

Sara AhmedKarachi, Pakistan★★★★★

Sharda and Ratti Gali Lake were the highlights, though the trek to the lake is no joke.

Bilal HussainIslamabad, Pakistan★★★★

So much quieter than Naran or Swat. Loved the pine forest drive along the river.
