You are right Ali bhai. Batakundi is much good place as compared to Naraan. Naraan is too commercial place now. and best thing is no network at all. hahhahaa

Bro 4 days are sufficient if you are travelling from Islamabad. You can travel to Babuser top on your personal vehicle. very good road. no need to hire jeep. just having good driving skills. I travelled on this road on my Honda city and once on Suzuki bolan (teen dabba. sorry) you can park your vehicle at Kewai and can travel to Shogran on Jeep.
Saif ul Malook Jeep rents are negotiable. depends on your negotiation skills. u should hire 2 jeeps for 14 people.

as suggested by ali don't stay at Naran, the place is so crowded that even its difficult to walk. Same situation like murree. Batakundi is perfect place to stay. Regarding network, its not even working properly in Naran due to number of users. You can't get a room in naran for less than 5,000 and that too will be just ok or below average.

If you are with family, stay at Naran

I am talking based on personal experience as I am right now at Naran. No issue of network connectivity even wifi works in good hotels

One more question. Should i plan my trip through some travel group or is it better to plan it myself?

Arcadian sprucewoods resort is nice place to stay in.. it is located in shogran.
Plan your own trip dont involve tour operators, you dont need them for naran trip

Any car can go to babusar top.. even people are taking 660cc cars there

I think tour operator will cost more than a self made trip.

m-yousuf (m-yousuf) 2017-07-15 13:33:13 +0500 #21

Absolutely

And what about the food? Is it expensive or same as that of avaible in cities?

Moreover, i have contacted some hotels at naran like demanchi, sayyam, lalazar etc .. They rates are sky high these days starting from 9k for a double room. Hence, i have delayed my plan upto 14august after which there will be a considerable decrease in rates.

farrukhzeeshan (farrukhzeeshan) 2017-07-18 20:40:27 +0500 #29

Road is open

farrukhzeeshan (farrukhzeeshan) 2017-07-18 20:41:54 +0500 #30

Reasonable family room will start from 5000. I suggest to stay at Batakundi. Naran is very very packed these days.
