We visited Sharan Valley on 21st to 23rd October 2016. This tour was amazing and we faced many challenges and at the end we see the ultimate beauty of Nature! It was Sharan listen this name many years back but now i think what i have listened about Sharan was less. It is beautiful place that can't be described in words only you can go and see the beauty by yourself.
The 16 kilometers dirt and stone road to Sharan branches off from the main Mansehra-Naran highway at Paras, 79 kilometers from Mansehra and 31 km from balakot. There is an KPK Forest Department Rest House and a Youth Hostel (which are very pathetic in condition) in Sharan and now KPK Govt. has installed very beautiful Camping Pods where tourists can stay. Transport to Sharan can be arranged from paras, Kawai or Balakot. But we have travelled this on our bikes Suzuki GS 150.
Below are few pictures taken in Sharan Forest.

Tents available for bachelors or students.

Toughest road recommended only for Jeeps.
It was the most thrilling and dangerous road from Paras to Sharan Forest. Few clicks from the top of the mountains viewing the Paras Valley.
