[emaanaziz94]

Hello travellers
How is Shogran in end december while travelling with family ? I wanted to visit Hunza but now most of the things are now closed in Hunza . What option do I have in Shogran? Is Siri paye can be accessed in these days? Can i takemy car upto shogran from Kiwai which is Sportage AWD. What hotes are best in Shogran probaly suitable for newly weds

Shugran is a good option, Road to shugran is way more dangerous in winter due to snow so its better to park your car at kiwai then go in jeep. (parking is completely save, no need to worry about the car).
You can go to Siri paye only by trekking due to snow.

Other than shugran you can explore the Kalam, ushu forest, malam jabba.

Keeping in mind its a honeymoon

Winters are harsh up there in north. Road access will be troublesome instead of honey moon it will become 'life time touba' trip. Delay it till February 2023 when weather is amiable and transportation is comfortable.

if budget is no issue then do consider shangrila resort and don't plan too many excursions. Do this a little off season so you don't see the freebie tourists who pay some money to enter the resort for sightseeing. The lake and the views are mesmerizing. Ask them for a hut near the dining place or at the back of the resort behind the dining place. you will get less traffic and great views. boating will be complimentary and breakfast and dinner will be complimentary too. You will experience warm water 24/7 and good hygienic rooms and lots of storage space. My suggestion is to stay in resort and plan a one day trip for excursion to deosai plains and till the end of the track. One sight seeing day and all other days for rest. Do not do too many places in a day.
Also do not miss the complimentary meals as they are strict about timings. Menus are great.

Shangrila resort is a bit too far for me to travel so thats NO but anyways thanks for suggestion. What other place can you suggest?

Well i have not been to these resorts but if you go uphill from murree there are a few good isolated private resorts that are well reputed. These offer seclusion and comfort with amazing scenic views. These need to be booked well in advance as they are booked all year. Try those by searching them on google. I am also planning next trip towards that area.
