Shogran is located 34 kilometres (21 mi) away from Balakot. The road from Islamabad to the region is paved and measures 212 kilometres (132 mi).

Weather[]

Shogran is opened for visitors in summers and winters (although in winter only one hotel is open). June – August every year is the peak season. During this period, the weather remains temperate. Temperature ranges between a maximum of 20 °C (68 °F) and a minimum of 3 °C (37 °F). Monsoon winds bring heavy rains with occasional hail storms. Unexpected thunder storms and heavy rains sometimes create difficulties for visitors to move around. During the winter months the valley is usually covered in snow. Since 2005 Shogran is accessible in winter.
