Naran is a mountain resort town in the Kaghan Valley of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, situated at 2,409 metres on the Kunhar River and serving as the base for visits to Saif ul Malook Lake. The surrounding Kaghan Valley is one of Pakistan's most accessible high-mountain tourist destinations, with meadows, waterfalls, and pine forests lining the road from Mansehra. The town sees heavy domestic tourism in summer when the heat of the plains drives visitors to its cooler elevation.
