About Shogran

Shogran is a picturesque hill station situated at 2,362 meters in the Kaghan Valley, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Despite its modest size, Shogran offers some of the most stunning panoramic mountain views in Pakistan, including clear sights of Makra Peak (3,885m) and Musa ka Musalla (4,080m). The real gem of the area is Siri Paye Meadows, accessible by a 30 minute jeep ride from Shogran. These vast alpine meadows sit above 3,000 meters and offer 360 degree views of surrounding peaks that are truly breathtaking.
