Its mountains, dales, lakes, water-falls, streams and glaciers are still in an unbelievably pristine state, an unspoilt paradise. That is why it can be such a deeply satisfying experience to spend a few days in Kaghan Valley at Shogran and Lalazar or PTDC Motel Complex at Naran. The Valley extends for 155 km rising from an elevation of 2,134 meters to its highest point , the Babusar Pass, at 4,145 meters. From the middle of July up to the end of September, the road beyond Naran, snow-bound throughout the winter, is open right up to Babusar Pass.
Movement is restricted during the monsoon season also.
The Kaghan Valley is accessible by road from Rawalpindi, Islamabad and Peshawar. Abbotabad is a charming town spread out over several low, refreshing green hills. Here you have to switch over to jeeps for your drive to Shogran, Kaghan and Naran, the half-way point and the base camp for the whole valley. From here you can ride a jeep or horse or hike to lakes, valleys and peaks. You can go boating on the lake and hear the local legend about Prince Saiful Muluk who fell in love with a fairy.
