A short escape when you only have a weekend. This 2-day trip from Lahore and Islamabad leaves at night, so you wake up in the mountains, take a jeep up to Sharan Forest near Kaghan and spend the night camping among tall pine trees with a bonfire and BBQ. Your tour operator travels with the group the whole time.
You do not need any gear or experience. We set up the tents, arrange the jeep up to the forest and plan the bonfire and BBQ. Your tour operator stays at camp with the group so everyone feels safe.
