| Shogran |
 |
| Shogran is one of the most beautiful plateau in the whole area with an altitude of 7,749 feet (2,362 meters) above sea level. It is 33 km from Balakot via Kawai. Take this steep road from Kawai for Shogran. The distance is 5 miles and climb is 3,000 feet. Mighty Himalayan peaks like Musa Da Musallah 14,498 feet (4,419 m), Malka Parbat 17,156 feet (5,229 m) and Makra 15,030 feet (4,581 m) could be seen from Shogran. |
| Naran |
 |
Naran is located on the banks of the Kunhar River, known for its Trout fishing.
Onwards a 3 hour drive away from Shogran is Naran. It is a small tourist village open only during the tourist season of May to September. The rest of the time it is covered with snow. All visitors come to Naran to pay a visit to the Saiful Muluk Lake (10,500 feet) 6 miles east of town. If the road is open transportation by jeep can be arranged. If the road is closed, it is an easy, gradual three-hour walk, and the lake is a lovely spot for a picnic. |
| Lalazar |
 |
Another pleasant 1/2-day jeep excursion from Naran is up to the Lalazar Plateau. A jeep track climbs up the plateau from battakundi, some 16 km N of Naran.
Located at 3,200m, this beautiful, meadow is awash with colourful alpine flowers in spring and summer, and set amongst the cool pine forests. A footpath leads from Lalazar Plateau down to lake Saiful Malik, taking 5-6 hrs. The road to Lalazar is a typical Pakistani Mountain road, with hills on one side and a deep "Khud" (valley) on the other side.The only difference was that the "Khud" is the Kunhar River.Lalazar is a place where one would enjoy camping. It has large grassy grounds and there?s no fear of falling rocks or being in way of a broken glacier. |
| Lake Saifulmalook |
 |
Lake Saifulmalook is a lake located at the northern end of the Kaghan Valley near Naran Pakistan. At an altitude of 3,224 m (10,578 feet) above sea level it is amongst one of the highest lakes in Pakistan. |
