Five full days to soak in every corner of the Kaghan Valley. Drive up through the valley to Naran, spend a full day on the Babusar route with rafting and Lulusar Lake, then visit Saiful Malook before crossing to Sharan's ancient forest. Two evenings in Sharan with forest walks, Manshi Top panoramas and bonfire nights — the complete Kaghan Valley experience at a relaxed pace.
