1 Day Shogran Siri Paye Tour from Islamabad

Shogran Siri Paye Tour from Islamabad Overview

Our Shogran Siri Paye tour from Islamabad is a
professionally managed one-day journey through the mountain roads,
forests and highland scenery of Kaghan Valley. It is designed for
travellers seeking a refreshing weekend escape without an overnight
stay.

The journey follows the Hazara Motorway route through Mansehra and
Balakot before continuing towards Kiwai. At Kiwai, participants transfer
into locally arranged 4×4 jeeps for the mountain journey towards Shogran
and Siri Paye.

The planned experience includes Shogran sightseeing, Siri Paye Meadows
and the accessible alpine pond commonly known as Siri Lake. Kiwai
Waterfall may also be visited when sufficient time, daylight and route
conditions are available.

Participants travel by jeep to the safest accessible point and complete
normal meadow walking according to local conditions. A long Siri Paye
hike is not included in the standard one-day itinerary.

The package is suitable for families, couples, friends, students,
private groups and solo travellers. Step Travel and Tours manages the
main air-conditioned transport, local-jeep coordination, sightseeing,
dinner, basic group pictures and complete trip management.

This tour operates throughout the year. However,
Shogran, Siri Paye, the alpine pond, Kiwai Waterfall and mountain roads
