Naran, located in the beautiful Kaghan Valley, Pakistan, is a perfect holiday resort for adventurers. Naran has a variety of lush green valleys, snow-clad mountains and sparkling clear water lakes, and it provides the people with an array of activities that can make them thrilled and enjoy every moment of their tour to Naran. Below is the list of five places you can visit in Naran if you are an adventure seeker in Pakistan.
1. Lake Saif-ul-Malook
There is no way one can visit Naran without encountering the amazing Lake Saif-ul-Malook. This glacial lake is 3224m above sea level and amidst snow-capped mountains. Snow-capped individuals can use the jeep to go to the area, or if one is so adventurous, they can walk up the mountainous slopes. Upon reaching the lake, you can take a boat trip on its green waters, enjoy the view, or try to catch some fish. There are also many fabulous myths and legends of the fairies, making the district even more mysterious and appealing to tourists eager to get lost in the tales of the lake of the fairies.
2. Babusar Pass
In addition, if one wants to take a memorable road trip, it is recommended to visit Babusar Pass- a mountain pass in Pakistan. Situated at 4,173 meters above sea level, the pass is famous for its acute slope, numerous winding turns, and the amazing view of the mountains. The road that leads to the Sampit Pass is narrow and bumpy. Hence, it is ideal for those interested in rough terrains. On the top, one gets a perfect view of the mighty Himalayan ranges and the Kaghan Valley, covered with snow. The beautiful scenery at Babusar Pass is particularly charming in terms of the cool winds blowing and calm environment, which makes any adventure freak consider Babusar Pass their perfect holiday destination.
3. Lalazar Plateau
The Lalazar Plateau is one of the best options for explorers ready for new unexplored challenges. About 13 km from Naran and before reaching Babusar Top, this beautiful green plateau is a jeep ride through the narrow mountain track or a trekking destination. The place's surroundings are covered with pine woods, and the wildflowers' meadows are ideal for trekking or camping. Lalazar is heavenly and beautiful, and it views a mountainous region, especially the Malika Parbat, the highest peak of Kaghan Valley.
4. Ansoo Lake Trek
If you are up for a real battle, you better try the Ansoo Lake Trek. Regarded as one of the most challenging treks in the region, the trip will get you to the Annapurna Base Camp 4, 245 meters high. The lake, which looks more like a teardrop (the word 'Ansoo' being the Urdu term for tear), is one of the least explored and, hence, one of the most demanding to reach – either from Saif-ul-Malook or the village of Mahandri. Thus, the odd has a steep climb, rocky surface, and unfavorable climate characterized by cold worsening at an increased altitude. Still, the climax of the trek is the otherworldly view of the lake surrounded by snow-capped mountains.
5. Ratti Gali Lake
Despite being in Azad Kashmir, Ratti Gali Lake is very easy to access from Naran, and any traveler who wants to take on an adventure must visit this place. With its deep blue water, best surrounded by glaciers, the best way to get to Ratti Gali is to try a fairly steep climb or take a jeep and then trek. It is a walk of magnesium nature; alpine meadows, glacial streams and towering peaks accompany the visitors throughout their trip. But when at the lake, the peaceful nature of the environment and the enchanting sights one gets to see does compensate for the effort taken. If you wish to spend time to the fullest, try camping near the lake and staying there until night.
