Well Well well...
2 things u need keep in your before planning
1...From ( june to mid july ) its not the best place where u want to take your family...because it has gone over crowded for the past 3 years or so....
2nd... Do not drive around with loose grip Tyre,s from balakot upwards because roads r a little there...
Beside this its a place to be ....
This time Ramandan is a plus point to have peace inside and outside....

I remember taking a bus from Abottabad to Kaghan with goats inside and hay on top of the bus and from Kaghan hitching a ride in the back of a PWD pickup truck to Naran. But that was eons ago.

I have visited Kaghan Valley after my MBA in 2009 with my friends and it was such a nice experience, would love to visit again when I will come back in Pakistan.
