Image
During the summer of 2019, from 08th June to 13th June 2019, we made a trip to the Naran-Kaghan valley. We were a group of 5 families, around 22 peoples including men, women and children. We started our trip from Karachi on the morning of 08th June 2019 from Cantt Station Karachi.

Restaurants https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g298545-Al_Khobar_Eastern_Province.html 6. Aramco and King Abdulaziz center for World Culture 7. And offcouse it's hot and humid weather. Although the city has much to offer in terms of spending quality time with family and enjoying food and activities but the very hot and humid weather are big spoilers. In summers you can't imagine how it feels to take a walk leaving the cool atmosphere of your AC home, hotel or vehicle. I would recomend to choose to visit in early winters. While our short walk on the corniche along...
