The Kaghan Valley is located in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwah and is one of the valleys that are relatively easy to reach from Islamabad.

The mountainous scenery, the dales, lakes, waterfalls, streams and glaciers are the main attractions here. The Valley extends for 155 km, rising from an elevation of 2,134 meters to its highest point, the Babusar Pass, at 4,145 meters. It is home to expansive pine forests, alpine meadows, numerous crystal clear lakes and cool mountain streams. Kunhar River, the main attraction of the valley, is famous for its scrumptious trout. Nestled along the banks of the river are the towns of Balakot, Paras, Mahandari, Kaghan and Naran. The local people are friendly and the Gujar nomads are the most interesting inhabitants of the Kaghan Valley. They take their herds of cattle to the high pastures of the upper Kaghan Valley in spring and bring them down again in autumn. Upon your arrival in Kaghan you will be able to see them camped along the road in their traditional tents or moving up and down the valley with their herds of pack animals, sheep and goats. The valley also offers numerous trekking opportunities round the year. Some famous trekking routes include Ratti Gali, Doodhi Pat Sar, Saral Gali, Noori Pass, Aansoo Jheel, Kuch Gali & Siran Col while trekking peaks of Makra & Musa Ka Musalla are other attractions for novice trekkers.
