You mentioned that road condition between Naran and batakundi is very bad. Can you explain further. Has it gone very bad that cars can't go. I intend to visit Naran on coming weekend and wanted to stay batakundi.
Is it advisable to stay there??

Naran to Batakundi road has some patches where road is bad, usually at turns where glaciers have ruined the road but it is still manageable with careful driving.
