Mansehra to Naran | Kaghan Valley Ride | Khunjerab Tour EP-1

Mansehra to Naran — the full ride through Kaghan Valley on the N-15. This is Episode 1 of our Khunjerab Pass Tour, where we cover road condition, fuel stops, food, and what this stretch actually costs in 2026. Route: Mansehra → Balakot → Kiwai → Paras → Shinu → Jared → Kaghan → Naran Distance: approx. 160 km Quick note on the route: Mansehra–Naran is not the main KKH line to Khunjerab. We're taking the summer route — Naran → Babusar Top → Chilas → Gilgit → Hunza → Khunjerab. Babusar usually opens around July and closes with the first heavy snow, so check before you plan. 📌 TIPS FOR THIS ROUTE Fill fuel in Mansehra or Balakot — pumps get scarce after Kaghan Carry a light jacket, Naran drops sharply after sunset Cash is king past Balakot, card machines are unreliable Start early, the Kiwai–Kaghan stretch gets congested by midday ▶ FULL SERIES — Khunjerab Pass Tour:    • Khunjerab Pass Bike Tour | Pakistan Travel...   Subscribe to Softventures Rides for honest road reports from northern Pakistan. #MansehraToNaran #KaghanValley #KhunjerabPassTour #SoftventuresRides #NaranKaghan #babusartop #karakoramhighway #pakistanbiketourist #naranvlog #northernpakistan #kunharriver #balakot #Kiwai #gilgitbaltistan #pakistantravel
