Bro, don't under estimate your EK. I recently visited Naran on my EK I took it even till Shogran. Many asked me not to do so, even on the way towards Shogran, People were scaring me like I am alien because nobody thought 660CC Auto would climb on mountain but trust me I took it and Masha Allah I crossed many Corollas and Civics on the way.
I am not mouth-fulling or talking big because there is a very thin line between bravery and Stupidity. I am pro in hilly terrain so I took my car at Shogran. If you are novice driver, I won't advise you to take your car at Shogran.
YES! Naran is very much OK as road is newly paved and there isn't any bad patch at all till Naran, You can even have 5 mote mote passengers in your EK and your EK won't disappoint you.
I am sure you will enjoy and the phrase is true. Fortune favors the brave .... but hey don't do any stupid things.
Fe-Aman-Allah, Junaid
