km further ahead north of #Kewai is the small village of #Paras. Most public transport stop here for tea and snacks before moving on to #Naran. At Paras a rough track crosses the river #Kunhar and climbs 15Km to #Sharan , in the middle of nowhere at 2,400m. 🔸 #SIRAN VALLEY ▪️From Paras you can hike through the forest or trek overnight across beautiful #Siran Valley, north of #Mansehra (though a local guide can help you find the trail and avoid the occasional black bear and wild cat). The next stop is a small village of #Sinhu and from there the road continues to #Jared. 🔸️ #SHARAN FOREST ▪️16 km jeep-road from Paras on the other bank of the Kunhar.
