Walking
Start at the center of Naran, near the main bazaar. Head south on the main road (Kaghan Road) towards the N-15 highway. Continue walking for about 20-30 minutes until you reach the junction where N-15 diverges from the main road. Follow the signs for N-15 towards Mansehra. After about 10 minutes of walking, you will reach a small path leading towards Dunga Katha Ford. Follow this path for approximately 15-20 minutes, and you will arrive at the water crossing.
Hiking
If you're feeling adventurous, from the main bazaar in Naran, take the trail leading towards the hills behind the town. This trail will eventually connect with the path leading to Dunga Katha Ford. The hike will take approximately 1-2 hours depending on your pace. Enjoy the scenic views along the way and ensure you have proper footwear and water.
Horse Ride
You can also hire a horse from the local stables in Naran. Negotiate a fare with the stable owner and ask for a guide to take you to Dunga Katha Ford. The horse ride will take around 1 hour, and the guide will show you the safest paths to navigate to the water crossing.
