Whenever someone talks to Kashmir, the first valley that comes to mind is Neelum valley. So if you are on a Trip To Neelum Valley, you should not forget to visit the following parts of Neelum Valley.
Keran
Upper Neelum Valley
Ratti Gali Lake
Baboon Valley
Sharda
Kel
Arrang Kel
Taobutt
A trip to Neelam valley will not be an easy task as far as facilities and infrastructure are concerned. But if you love to adventure, then Neelum valley is for you. The road till Keran is well maintained; you can do the driving easy, but once you cross Keran and move up for the Sharda, then a real test starts with your driving. It takes 2.5 hours drive from Muzaffarabad(Capital of Azad Kashmir) to get to Keran. It should be your first stop, either your started journey from Lahore or Islamabad.
At keran, you will find some of the best-rated hotels in Neelum Valley. From Keran you can decide your next destination. You will have access to Baboon Valley and Ratti Gali lake; you can also visit Sharda, Kel, and Arrang Kel and then return to your hotel at Keran.
Suppose you are on a trip to Neelum valley for the first time. Then I believe you should ask for the services of some travel agencies. They know how to make, manage and execute the plans, but you can ask the locals to guide you as well. For example, from Keran to Dawarian, it takes only 20 mins to get there, but from Dawaria to Ratti Gali lake, you need a jeep to drop you on the basecamp of Ratti Gali lake. It would be the one adventure because the jeep drive is not easy at all. Furthermore, you will find villi jeeps at Dawarian; there is no other option available until or unless you have not booked some better option from Muzaffarabad for your trip to Neelum valley.
