Waste of time and energy to go into these area's in public holidays. Had the worst experience of my life in 2014 when our whole family went to naran and kaghan in eid holidays. Heavy traffic from abbotabad to naran (almost stuck in traffic for 5-6 hours or maybe even more,dont remember exactly now),and then when we finally reached naran,we could not find a hotel room at ALL.
Too much traffic,no rooms available,hours till you get your food made,too many young men who spoil the good atmosphere.
