Naran & Kashmir

Naran & Kaghan Valley – Pakistan’s Alpine Wonderland

Located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Naran and Kaghan are entry points to breathtaking landscapes and thrilling alpine experiences.
While Saif-ul-Malook Lake is well-known, there are many lesser-known spots to explore:

Hidden Gems in Naran & Kaghan

Ansoo Lake: This tear-shaped lake sits at an altitude of 4,245 meters and can be reached by trekking from the Malka Parbat basecamp.
The journey is tough, but the amazing views are worth it.
Dharamsar Lake: Situated near Babusar Top, this serene alpine lake is bordered by tall peaks.
It's the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy nature.
Batakundi Waterfall: A highlight on the roadside, this waterfall flows over the road, making it great for taking photos or a quick dip.
Sharan Forest: Accessible by jeep from Paras, this thick forest is perfect for camping, hiking, and getting away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Siri Paye Meadows: Found above Shogran, these green meadows offer amazing panoramic views and often appear cloaked in mist, giving them a magical feel.

Kashmir – The Valley of Dreams

Kashmir, whether in Pakistan or India, is celebrated for its poetic beauty.
However, beyond popular destinations like Neelum Valley or Dal Lake, there are some real hidden treasures:

Secret Spots in Kashmir

Ratti Gali Lake (Azad Kashmir): A glacial lake surrounded by wildflowers and snowy peaks.
It can be reached via a rough jeep track and a short hike.
Arang Kel: A village located above Kel in Neelum Valley, accessible by chairlift and hiking.
This place feels like a fairy tale come to life.
Toli Peer: Found in Rawalakot, this high-altitude meadow offers stunning views and is often overlooked by regular tourists.
Gurez Valley (Indian Kashmir): Near the Line of Control, this secluded valley is full of cultural richness and untouched natural beauty.
Chitta Katha Lake: Another high-altitude lake in Azad Kashmir.
It requires a multi-day trek but offers a peaceful and quiet environment.
