Arang Kel felt like a different world — the chairlift ride up is an experience in itself.
Sara AhmedKarachi, Pakistan★★★★★
Sharda and Ratti Gali Lake were the highlights, though the trek to the lake is no joke.
Bilal HussainIslamabad, Pakistan★★★★
So much quieter than Naran or Swat. Loved the pine forest drive along the river.
