The Kaghan Valley's remote mountains, dales, lakes, waterfalls, streams, and glaciers remain in a pristine state, some within Lulusar-Dudipatsar National Park. The Valley is a prime destination during summer, from May through September. In May, the temperature ranges between a maximum of 11 °C (52 °F) and a minimum of 3 °C (37 °F). From the middle of July to the end of September the Naran-Babusar road beyond Naran Valley is open through Kagan Valley and over Babusar Pass.

In Balakot, one may find buses and other transports to reach Naran Village and the valley. There are more than a dozen big and small lakes in the valley, but three are more popular among the tourists: Saiful Muluk, Dudipatsar and Lulusar.
