Why should you visit Shogran once in life? 

Shogran, we would say, is one of the most scenic and spectacular hill stations not only in KPK but in overall Pakistan because the serenity, wilderness and scenic dreamlands in the Shogran have no parallel in the whole Pakistan. Be it the thickly wooded peaks, the meadows at the top, the view of the spectacular birdseye view of surrounding or the chance to visit many amazing tourist spots around this place is, in fact, a fairyland. During the sunrise and the sunset, you would have an amazing view, especially when it is the cloudy weather. you would feel like the sea of clouds are buzzing and hugging you. The distant wooded peaks, the gleaming icy summit and the white clouds hovering over the peaks would give a perfect scenery to enjoy.
