    Getting There

    Walking

    If you are in the center of Naran, start by heading towards the main bazaar area. From the main market, walk towards the Naran River, and follow the riverbank. You will see small local shops and eateries along the way. Continue walking along the river for about 15-20 minutes until you reach a fork in the path. Take the left path that leads away from the river. GPS, NARAN is located approximately 1 kilometer from this point. Look for a small school building on your right, which is marked with the GPS coordinates WJ3W+HXM. It’s an easy walk, and you will enjoy the scenic views along the way.

    Bicycle

    Rent a bicycle from one of the local shops in Naran. Start your ride from the center of Naran, heading towards the Naran River. Follow the same route as the walking description, but on a bicycle, you can take a more direct path along the riverbank road. After about 15 minutes of cycling, you will reach the fork in the path. Take the left path and continue riding for another 5 minutes. You will see the school building marked with GPS coordinates WJ3W+HXM on your right. This option provides a faster and more enjoyable way to get to GPS, NARAN.
