Naran in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province is rightly called a paradise. Khyber Pakhtunkha is primarily known for its tourist destinations. One of the major towns of Kaghan Valley of the Mansehra District, this town is located at an altitude of 2,409 meters, and is surrounded in an abundance of natural and scenic beauty. Here you’ll find clear-water lakes, mountains for trekking, while local handicrafts offer an insight into the region’s eclectic culture. It is because of its natural beauty that thousands of tourists visit this place on an annual basis. If you are planning your next trip here, there are a number of hotels in Naran you can choose from.
But first, let’s think of the route you should be taking to enjoy the best of road network that runs deep through scenic valleys. A Silk Road runs through Hassan Abdal and Abbottabad in Mansehra District. Taking a right from Mansehra town towards Naran will land you through Battrasi Pine Forest that runs along Kunhar River and enters Balakot, another beautiful town. On your way from here, you’ll come across small villages of Kawai, Paras, and Mahandri. These villages look something out of a painting, small houses with steel ceilings against lush-green mountains that sit gently, covered in clouds. Your next stop from these villages is the Kaghan Valley, and the largest town here is Naran. As this is your family vacation, we have picked the top five hotels in Naran for you to enjoy your staycation.
