Skardu: lakes and quiet
Skardu is built around lakes and high desert. Visit Kachura Lakes, Satpara Lake and Katpana Cold Desert. Compare it with Hunza in Hunza vs Skardu.
Neelum Valley: river and village stays
Neelum is a long river valley with small villages. The best known stops are Arang Kel, Taobat and Kutton Waterfall. Roads can be slow and landslides are possible, so allow extra time.
Naran Kaghan: summer lakes
Naran is the classic summer honeymoon stop, with Lake Saiful Muluk at about 3,224 m and a cool riverside setting. It is busy in peak season, so book ahead and avoid public holidays. See Saif ul Mulook Lake and top hotels in Naran Kaghan.
Swat and Kalam: easier access
The Swat Motorway makes the lower valley easy to reach from Islamabad. Read the Islamabad to Swat road guide and the Kalam Valley guide.
Galiyat and Murree: short and easy
If you have only a few days, the Galiyat hills are the simplest option. Read the Galiyat guide and Murree vs Nathiagali.
