Top Attractions in Naran Kaghan
Naran
Naran is a beautiful small town and the main hub in Kaghan Valley. It is where most tourists stay to visit the upper parts of Kaghan and the Gilgit Baltistan road. Naran offers a wide variety of accommodations but is closed during the winter due to heavy snowfall.
Naran Bazaar
The Naran Bazaar is always busy and crowded with tourists, offering a lively atmosphere. You can find all your necessities here, plus shops selling traditional clothes, dry fruits, and local handicrafts. It's famous for the tempting aroma of local foods being cooked, especially fresh Trout Fish and Chapli Kababs.
Kunhar River
The Kunhar River flows right through the Kaghan Valley, fed by glaciers, lakes and surrounding streams from Babusar Top. It is home to various fish species, most famously the Trout Fish, which supports the local fishing industry. The river eventually flows out of Kaghan and joins the Jhelum River near Muzaffarabad.
Saif-ul-Malook Lake
Located north of Naran, this stunning glacial lake is shadowed by the iconic Malika-e-Parbat peak. Access requires an exciting off-road jeep ride up a narrow track. It is famous for the local fairy tale about the Egyptian prince Saif-ul-Malook and the fairy Badri-ul-Jamal.
Batakundi
Batakundi is the first town you reach after Naran when heading towards Babusar, offering a beautiful, peaceful place to stay. It is the starting point for the one hour jeep track that leads up to the scenic Lalazar Meadows. The town offers several hotels, rest houses, camping sites, and a small market.
Jalkhad
Jalkhad is a scenic small town further up the Naran-Babusar road, popular for camping. It is a hub for high altitude attractions like Tiger Peak, the bowl-shaped Pyala Lake, and the route to Saral Lake. It is also where the jeepable mountain pass, Noori Top, begins its climb towards Neelum Valley in Kashmir.
Besal

It is the official starting point for the challenging two-day moderate level trek to the beautiful Dudipatsar Lake. Besal is also home to the famous Moon Restaurant and falls under the Lulusar-Dudipatsar National Park area.
Lulusar Lake
Lulusar is the largest lake in the entire Kaghan Valley, famous for its deep teal colored water. As a glacial lake, it is a significant source of water for the Kunhar River. It remains completely covered in snow during the winter and is a crucial part of the Lulusar-Dudipatsar National Park.
Babusar Pass
Babusar Pass is the highest point on the Kaghan Road, reached via a zigzag, steep drive past Gitidas. From the top, on a clear day, you can see stunning views of Nanga Parbat, Rakaposhi, and the lower Kaghan Valley. This pass is the high-altitude route that connects Kaghan to Gilgit Baltistan via Chilas and is best visited from May to September.
Ansoo Lake
Ansoo means "teardrop" in Urdu, and the lake is named for its distinctive shape. It is located north of Naran and requires a challenging one-day trek from Saif-ul-Malook Lake. Visitors can hire mules from Saif-ul-Malook to make the difficult hike easier.
