Time to say good bye to the river jehlum and another nallah known as ''goeean nallah'' in kashmir and called ''Gun River'' by google will be your companion till just short of rawalakot.

For all those travelers who do not want to miss the narar valley,this ground when going towards azad pattan comes on your left from where a road emerges for narar valley,we did not attempt because of families with us and time constraint will attempt it later.

Amir bhai more information required about narar valley if you have.

For Ishaq Bro !!

Dear All
Last we went to the Valley Narrah near Kahota.It was about 2 hours drive from islamabad but the place was worth.Beautiful deep Jungle, calm greenery with lots of water falls & streams.There are only two rest houses available in the area.One at the Top & one in the base of the valley.Both owned by Pakistan Forest Department.Its top altitude is 7000 ft equal to Murree.Acess from Kahota Azad Patan road.All metal but single exept few last km were hard for a car due to ground clearence.Very little population.Only 1 town, Mobile signals all available,electrcity available.Ideal place for a weekend stay as well as camping.

My special thanks to Ahmad Ali (Ponga Bahi) to guide me for this place as he discovered that areas years back during deer hunting.
I hope you all will like it.

This place has lots of potential for Photography as well as trekking.Hog deers are also found in the dense forest.And in winter light snow fall also occurs.
I have been to this place two three times in summer just for weekend picnic & trying to convince Islamabad Jeep Club for an offroad event on these steep slippery rocks.

@Raheeln,
As its a forgotten & hidden place usually u will find no one in the valley except yourself.I stayed only once at night in the forest rest house.And we had no prior booking.We went to the rest house & the watchman welcomed us.We gave Rs:1000 to him for dinner (chicken Karahi) & for the room rent.We were only 3 guys so shared the room.
The rest house is owned by Pakistan Forest Department I think under DFO Rawalpindi division..or check that Panjar is located in Rawalpindi or AJK?

Regarding approach of this hidden beautiful valley..
It lies in forward Kahota Sector on Azad Patan Road ..about 90 mins drive from islamabad.
After crossing Kahota Bazar & Travelling on Azad Pata Road one crosses a big bridge & a town known a PANJAR..after crossing Panjar about 4kms on Azad Patan Road..a small mile stone appears on the road on which Narrah Valley in Urdu is written.On your left a narrow single link road goes inside the Jungle.Its so narrow in woods that usualy one miss that turn.So I advice any one wana go to Narrah must ensure the turn from Panjar town from any locals.
Its a metal road & car goes easily upto the water fall one can see in above pictures,After the water falla small Bazar comes..If you want to go further..Park your car in that Bazar & than hire a 4x4 or one can walk for couple of miles to the Top.
At the top there is a Foest rest house..and on the Top there is a big green grassy ground which gives a look like Lalazar Top Or Payee Meadows.
Unfortunately I don't have Pictures of that Top.
The Surrounding of this valley is beautiful & needs exploration which I was unable to do due to my injured foot.
Regards
Fahad

Azad pattan Rawalakot road.
Road is newly built and excellent till rawalakot .

[Skill]

The Gun river/Goeean nallah in back ground which is not as prominent as river jehlum was on many places but it runs along with road till short of rawalakot.First few kilometers it will be flowing towards your left while going from azad pattan to rawalakot then a bridge will take you towards left of the Gun river and it will remain on your right till end.

[Skill]

You will have to leave this first bridge and wait for next comparatively bigger bridge on that neat road,because first bridge goes towards villages alongside the river jehlum.
