Naran and the Kaghan Valley are among the most beautiful escapes in Pakistan, and a chauffeur-driven 4x4 from Karachi is the most comfortable, stress-free way to get there. You enjoy the scenery while an experienced mountain driver handles the long highway and the hill climbs.
The journey
It’s a big trip, roughly 1,550 km, usually driven over two days each way with an overnight stop along the route. From the motorway up through the Kaghan Valley, the road turns scenic and winding, which is exactly why a capable vehicle and a driver who knows mountain roads matter.
Best vehicle for this route
- Toyota Fortuner: the all-round favourite for Naran, with 4x4 capability, 7 seats and a comfortable ride.
- Toyota Land Cruiser: for bigger groups and the roughest tracks toward Saif-ul-Malook and Babusar.
- Honda BR-V: a budget-friendly 7-seater for the main valley roads.
