Naran and Kaghan are the classic summer trip from Punjab, and this 3-day tour from Lahore and Islamabad covers the highlights: Lake Saif ul Malook, Lulusar Lake, Babusar Top, Batakundi, Jalkhad and Kiwai waterfall. Travel in a new-model, air-conditioned vehicle, stay in clean hotels with hot water, and have your tour operator with the group the whole time.
Naran gets crowded in summer, and good hotels and jeeps go fast. We book ahead, plan the day so you reach Saif ul Malook and Babusar at the right time, and your tour operator stays with the group to handle the rest.
Your tour operator travels with every group and sorts out hotels, timings and changes on the spot.
New-model, air-conditioned vehicles chosen to fit your group size, with drivers experienced on mountain roads.
