Explore Naran-Kaghan Valley in 2025 with tours to Shogran, Babusar Top, Saif-ul-Malook & Lulusar Lake. Perfect for couples, families & groups.
Pakistan is home to some of the most breathtaking natural landscapes in the world, and the Naran-Kaghan Valley stands out as one of the crown jewels of northern tourism. With its snow-covered peaks, lush green meadows, alpine forests, and crystal-clear lakes, the valley attracts thousands of local and international travelers every year. Among its most famous attractions are Shogran, Babusar Top, Saif-ul-Malook Lake, Lulusar Lake, and Siri Paye Meadows—each offering a unique charm and unforgettable experience.
For 2025, tourism operators are offering a wide range of Naran-Kaghan Valley tours, designed to suit honeymoon couples, families, adventure groups, and corporate travelers. Whether you’re planning a 3-day short trip or a 9-day extended holiday, the valley promises memories that last a lifetime.
Shogran is one of the most popular spots in Naran-Kaghan Valley, famous for its lush meadows, panoramic views, and refreshing environment. Located at an elevation of about 2,362 meters, Shogran is easily accessible by road and offers a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure.
From Shogran, tourists often make jeep rides up to Siri Paye Meadows, a spectacular alpine pasture surrounded by snowcapped mountains. The sight of Makra Peak towering in the background, with horses grazing on lush grass, feels like a postcard come to life. For families and couples, Shogran provides comfortable resorts and guesthouses, making it an ideal overnight stay during valley tours.
At an altitude of 4,173 meters, Babusar Top is one of the highest points in the Naran-Kaghan Valley and serves as a gateway to Gilgit-Baltistan. The journey to Babusar is an adventure in itself, as the road winds through pine forests, rivers, and valleys before reaching the high-altitude pass.
From the top, visitors are treated to panoramic views of the Karakoram and Himalayan ranges, making it a favorite spot for photography. The crisp mountain air and stunning scenery make Babusar Top an unforgettable part of Naran-Kaghan tours. However, it is only accessible during the summer months (June to September), as heavy snowfall blocks the pass in winter.
Perhaps the most iconic destination in Naran-Kaghan Valley is Lake Saif-ul-Malook, located near the town of Naran at an altitude of 3,224 meters. Surrounded by snowcapped peaks, including the mighty Malika Parbat, the lake is often described as a fairytale destination.
Legend has it that fairies once descended upon the lake on moonlit nights, a story that continues to add mystery and allure. Tourists can enjoy boating in the emerald-green waters, hike around the lake, or simply relax and take in the magical surroundings. For honeymoon couples, Saif-ul-Malook is a must-visit, offering romance and serenity in one of the most scenic spots on earth.
While Saif-ul-Malook gets most of the attention, Lulusar Lake is another gem of Naran-Kaghan Valley. Located on the way to Babusar Top, Lulusar is the largest natural lake in the valley, with calm blue waters reflecting the surrounding mountains.
The lake is a peaceful stop for picnics, photography, and short hikes. Unlike the busier Saif-ul-Malook, Lulusar offers a quieter experience, making it a favorite for families and travelers who prefer calm, less-crowded spots.
A short jeep ride from Shogran leads to the enchanting Siri Paye Meadows. Known for their lush green fields and wildflowers, these meadows offer panoramic views of Makra Peak and the surrounding mountains. The journey itself is an adventure, as jeeps navigate narrow, winding paths.
Siri Paye is especially popular among trekkers and photographers. In spring and summer, the meadows are covered with wildflowers, while in winter, the area transforms into a snow-covered wonderland. For travelers seeking peace, natural beauty, and an escape from the crowds, Siri Paye is the perfect stop.
