Starting Location
Shogran in winter is a different world. Snow-carpeted meadows, frozen streams, pine trees draped in white and crisp mountain silence — all just a jeep ride from Kiwai. Spend two nights at a hillside resort, walk through Siri Paye Meadows in deep snow, try the optional Makra Peak trail, and return to the city completely reset. Pakistan's most accessible winter mountain escape.

An early start from Islamabad (or midnight from Lahore) and a drive through the Kaghan Valley to Kiwai. From Kiwai, a jeep safari takes you up the snow-covered mountain road to Shogran. Arrive by early afternoon, check in to Pine Park Glade, have lunch, and take a gentle walk around the snowy meadow to watch the sunset over the Himalayas.
