About Naran
Stays in Naran are mostly hotels, with resorts, guest houses and serviced apartments as well.
Naran sits in the Kaghan Valley of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, on the road that climbs towards the high passes of the western Himalaya. Most travellers stay in or near Naran bazaar, where the greatest concentration of accommodation is found, while others base themselves in the surrounding hamlets of Batakundi and Burawai or near the turn-off for Saif-ul-Malook. The listings here are mainly hotels, with some guest houses, resorts and lodges, plus a serviced apartment. The valley road is usually reached from the Hazara plains via Mansehra and Balakot, and the high passes beyond close in winter, so plan travel for the warmer months.
