Getting There

Car
To reach Hindu Raj by car from Abbottabad, head north on the N-35 (also known as the Karakoram Highway) towards Mansehra. Continue driving for approximately 60 kilometers until you reach Mansehra. From Mansehra, take the Mansehra-Naran-Jalkhad road (N-15) for about 30 kilometers to reach the scenic Naran Valley. Once in Naran, you will need to take a 4x4 vehicle to navigate the rough terrain. Hire a local jeep from Naran to take you to the Hindu Raj area, which is about 30 kilometers away, taking roughly 2 hours due to the rugged paths.

Public Transportation
If traveling by public transport, start your journey from Abbottabad by taking a bus or a van heading to Mansehra. The journey takes about 1.5 hours. Once in Mansehra, catch a minibus or shared van to Naran, which takes around 2 hours. From Naran, you will need to hire a local jeep for the final leg of the journey to Hindu Raj. The jeep ride will cover approximately 30 kilometers and typically takes about 2 hours due to the rough and hilly terrain. Be prepared for additional costs for the jeep hire, which can range from PKR 3000 to PKR 5000 depending on the negotiation and season.
