Overview
Naran and Kaghan Tour from Pakistan is the classic summer valley trip, four days and three nights in the Kaghan valley along the Kunhar River.
From our Charsadda base, a short run to Balakot, our team arranges transport, hotels, and the jeeps to Lake Saif ul Malook, with Babusar Top, Lulusar Lake, and the Siri Paye meadow above Shogran. Alpine lakes, high passes, and green meadows make Naran and Kaghan a favourite summer escape for families and groups from across Pakistan.
Local KPK expertise
The Kaghan valley is in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a short run from our Charsadda base through Mansehra and Balakot, so Naran is the nearest and easiest of the northern areas for us, and our desk arranges it with real proximity, pickup from Charsadda and Peshawar, and drivers who know the road, the jeep track to Saif ul Malook, and the Babusar Top window. Our team knows the Naran and Shogran hotels, the day the lake and the pass open, and the summer only season, years of arranging the valley close to home rather than a booking passed to a distant handler.
Day by day

Day 1
Depart Peshawar or Islamabad by road through Balakot and up the Kaghan valley along the Kunhar River to Naran.

Day 2
A jeep up the rough track to Lake Saif ul Malook, the alpine lake below Malika Parbat, with boating on the still water and the peaks around it.

Day 3
Drive to Lulusar Lake, the source of the Kunhar, and on to Babusar Top, the high pass with wide views into Gilgit Baltistan.

Day 4
Stop at Shogran and a jeep to the Siri Paye meadow on the way down, then the road home to Peshawar or Islamabad.
The flow above is the typical four day plan for Naran and Kaghan. Our desk adds Shogran and Siri Paye, Lulusar and Babusar Top, or a Kashmir leg on request.
What you will see

The famous alpine lake at 3,224 metres above Naran, below the 5,290 metre peak of Malika Parbat, reached by a rough jeep track. Clear, cold, and wrapped in legend, the classic sight of the Kaghan valley, with the Ansoo Lake trek beyond for the fit.

The high pass at the head of the Kaghan valley at 4,173 metres, the summer gateway to Gilgit Baltistan and the shorter road on to Hunza and Skardu, with wide views toward Nanga Parbat and the Kunhar's source at Lulusar below.

The largest natural lake in the Kaghan valley at 3,410 metres and the source of the Kunhar River, deep blue on the road up to Babusar Top. A natural stop on the pass day.

The green plateau of Shogran and the high Siri Paye meadow above it at 2,895 metres, reached by jeep, with the peaks of Makra and Malika Parbat around a shallow reflecting pool, and the Lalazar meadow at 3,123 metres nearby.

The river that runs the length of the Kaghan valley, famous for its trout and its rafting, rushing past Balakot, the Kiwai Waterfall, Kaghan, and Naran. The road follows it up to Lulusar and Babusar.

The base town of the valley on the Kunhar, the hub for the jeeps to Saif ul Malook and the drives to Babusar and Shogran, with hotels, bazaars, and trout restaurants.

What sets the price
A Naran and Kaghan tour has no fixed sticker, since the season, the hotel, the excursions, and your departure city set each quote. Our desk reads them live for your dates and sends the current best price, with no hidden charges and no stale published number.
The short summer season and Eid holidays sit highest, since the valley is open only a few months, while the early and late weeks run lower.
A riverside or higher category hotel in Naran or Shogran lifts the price, while a standard hotel holds it down.
The jeeps for Saif ul Malook and Siri Paye set much of the cost, and a larger group shares the vehicles and the guide down.
A shared group departure carries the friendliest price, while a private family tour with your own vehicle and pace costs more.
