   "A Journey Towards Northern Wonders"

MY EXPERIENCE:

 Our trip started from Islamabad to Narran. The journey was smooth with beautiful sync beauty. The road from Islamabad to Abbottabad was beautiful and wide. The road got bumpy when we reached  Balakot to Narran, but the view and weather were amazing. The mountains were huge and lush green, with an enchanting river along the roadside. We reached Narran after 8 hour's drive from Islamabad. We took small breaks and enjoyed the view. The weather there was cold. We stayed at Kaghan Valley for a few hours which was a few kilometers away from Narran it was a beautiful valley. Narran is a natural paradise present in the heart of Pakistan's breathtaking Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province. 

The mountains were tall and covered with snow, and the air was so fresh. We walked by a beautiful river called Kunhar, its water was clear and cold. We also saw a big, blue lake named Saif-ul-Mulook, surrounded by green hills. I ate delicious local food and met friendly people. We stayed in a cozy cottage and at night, I saw countless stars in the sky. I felt so happy and peaceful there. Naran is a magical place, and I will never forget the wonderful time I had there.

           "Embrace the Northern Symphony".

My recent trip was to Narran, it was an amazing trip. The town, wrapped in a blanket of greenery, welcomed me with open arms. After settling into a cozy lodge, I set out to explore the town. We stayed 10 km away from the main city of Naran. We stayed at Bella Resort. It was an awesome place to relax. There was silence everywhere.

     "SAIF-UL-MULOOK"

On the first day after taking rest we went to Narran. We took jeeps and went to Saif-ul-Mulook Lake. It was 40 40-minute drive from  Narran to the lake. The route was very dangerous no proper roads were made. Only four-by-four vehicles can travel on that route. After 40 to 45 minutes of dangerous driving, we saw the breathtaking lake. It was beautiful. It was freezing cold there, the view was amazing but i was disappointed to see people throwing garbage on the ground. There was no one to stop people. The beautiful eye eye-catching lake was being destroyed by humans. People there were taking pictures, and boating. We just stayed there for an hour and we came back to Narran.

There are several viewpoints around Saif-ul-Mulook Lake that offer stunning vistas of the lake and the surrounding mountains. These viewpoints provide excellent photo opportunities and a chance to admire the beauty of nature.
