I will suggest you to go in May ! Bcoz lots of snow will be there.And hotel will be also cheap. But confirm Road Condition First !
I agree..
roads will not be clear by end April or early May so it will be difficult to reach Naran specially on Liana.. so better plan it for atleast early June..
Thanks for the input. Problem is that I have holidays in the dates as mentioned earlier ( last weekend of April and just start of may) and no afterwards so have to utilize those. What areas would be accessible inthese dates??
Hmm. This means change of plan:(
Shogran tak to pohanch hi jao *** Easily ! ( The most beautiful Place i,ve seen till now ) But naran tak roads mushkil say hi khulain ***.May k end tak roads open ho jatay hain Normally. But via jeeps may be You can reach Naran in these dates But taking a car will be difficult and Risky !
Thanks. Can anybody suggest any alternate accessible venue for a 4 day trip in case the roads will not be opened to naran till then

Here is Cell Number of a Shogran hotel owner; you can talk to him and get required info: 03455646283. I had chat with this person last year. Dont know whether it is available now are not. But you can try.
thanks. can you please tell me the name of the hotel which is owned by him? did you stay there? if yes then what were the room conditions/ facilities and rent?
went last year in august and damn it was horrible..it took 7hrs from balakot to naran.. total jam..horrible road condition,total booked hotels.. naran was crowded like murree mall road, land slideshere and there on the way..i dont whether they have mended those roads otherwise after snowing they must be in bad shape..hope this year it will be betterdont know exactly when roads will open, cntact with a local is a must..BOLAH
I've been to Balakot-Shogran-Sri-Paye-Kaghan-Naran in November 2011. Everything was okay.. Roads are under construction but they were not that bad as people are describing here.. Yes, season makes lot of differences.. The season we were in, it was superb... Chilling cold, no rush, no hassle, full snow at lake mulook and surroundings, very very nominal hotel and transportation rates.. To me, overall, it is good to go off season..!!
thanks for the updates
