Recently, with the help of Royal Tourism Pakistan, I got the chance to visit one of the most popular and beautiful vacation spots in northern Pakistan – Naran and Kaghan.
However, it is interesting to note that May is actually the tail end of winter in northern areas.We were travelling by bus and started from Rawalpindi passing through Mansehra and Abbotabad before reaching Naran.
Since the journey was long, we decided to stay a night in a small village called Rajwal.Rajwal is beautiful, surrounded by mountains which are mostly green but start showing hints of snowy white as you move further up north.
If you walk down the road, there are a few small stores where one can get basic groceries from and you come across fresh water streams.
At night, you can huddle around a bonfire in the garden to keep warm.
But there were a few determined ones from our group who did make it and got to see this view of the lake in contrast to the one above.This view is something worth seeing in both seasons.
