A Pakistan Holiday in the Kaghan Valley is an unforgettable
experience
The Himalayan hide-away, situated northeast of
the Hazara district of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province,
the Kaghan Valley is named after the town of Kaghan not after the
Kunhar River as is generally thought. The Valley extends for 155
kms rising from an elevation of 2,134 metres to its summit, the
Babusar Pass, at 4,173 meters.
The valley is worth visiting for its mountains,
lakes, dales, waterfalls, streams and glaciers. All of these are
still in an incredible pristine state. Best time to visit the Kaghan
Valley is during summer (months ranging from May to September).
Movement is restricted during the monsoon and winter seasons. The
valley is accessible by road via the towns of Mansehra, Balakot
and Abbottabad.
Kaghan is famous for fishing. Brown Trout and Mahasheer
are stocked in pure silvery waters between Kaghan and Naran. The
Kunhar river trout has been hailed as the best in the sub-continent.
Located near Kaghan valley, Lake Saif-ul-Muluk offers a pristine
location for fishing. One of the most charming features of the Kaghan
valley is the Gujar (herder) families. Tourists can find them camped
along the road in their tents or moving up the valley with their
goats, sheep and pack animals.
