[uziuzair]

Assalam O Alaikum

I am planning a trip to northern areas at the end of August with my mother and 1,2 cousins(50/50 chances).
jo log hoker ae hain plz guide :).. I m thinking to go to Shogran,Siri Paye, Naran....no murree n galiat this time.. bcoz mother ko agay k areas dikhane hain & bcoz of low budget too :D.

I will go to Isloo/Pindi by train..no hotel stay there...will go directly to Abbottabad by daewoo or some other bus service. 1 day stay at Abbotabad (will visit abbotbbad city & thandiani )..next day will move to Balakot by Bus..

ab yahan se guidance chaye thori...k Abbotabad k baad kahan stay karun k 3-4 din mai sab cover hojae..

Aakhlaque shb ka trip dekha MASHALLAH se.. i think Balakot k pas KEWAI se shogran, Siri Paye ka rasta alag jata hai phir Naran Kaghan jane k liye wapis KEWAI ana parta hai?? right??

to Abbotabad k baad next stay konsa better hoga?? Balakot ya Kewai, Shogran??

mene jo idea lagaya hai kafi topics dekh kar usk hisaab se to .. Balakot/Kewai mai stay kar k next morning Shogran, Siri Paye visit kiya jae and then wapis Kewai akar Naran ki taraf travel kia jae n Naran mai stay kia jae ik din n Saif Ul Malook visit ki jae..

Please share normal hotel/motel cost of Balakot, Kewai, Shogran, Naran.
Balakot-Kewai-Shogran-SiriPaye, Balakot-Naran, tak ki buses available hain ya private jeep karni parti hai??

mene jo andaza lagaya hai wo abbotabad n agay ka 3,4 din ka hotel ka kharcha 10k-12k and travelling 10k-12k.. (for 2 person) thek hai?? (travelling from Karachi-Abbotabad and food not included)

You should go to shogran and stay there. Visit Siri Paya. Next stay should be in Naran. Visit Saif ul Malook. And as you have 3-4 days, you should visit other lakes too. For shogran you have to get off the road and go uphill for around 7-8 km. Siri Paya ka rasta shogran say hai. Then you will have to come back down to road and then go towards kaghan naran.

SOrry cant quote hotel rates as i visited in off-season and everything was extra cheap. We got the best room at park pine hotel for 2500 rs. WIth wooden flooring, LED, and frankly a washroom more lush than the one at my home

No hotels to stay in siri or paya. You can camp at paya. Its an awesome place. Great view of Makra mountain from there too. Your mother and other ladies can go back to stay at park pine while u camp at Paya. Waisay siri paya is not a long drive from shogran.

You can go everywhere on buses. Jeep are needed from shogran to Siri Paya. And from naran to saif ul malook. Rest cars and buses go everywhere.
