Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Stays in Naran
No stays yet
Naran is the main town of the upper Kaghan valley in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, on the Kunhar river, and the base for Lake Saiful Muluk, Lulusar lake and the Babusar pass road to Gilgit-Baltistan. It is a summer town: the valley fills from June to September and empties when snow closes the road. Stays are hotels, huts and camps along the river, and booking ahead matters in July and August.
