Overview
Siri Paye (3,800m) is one of Pakistan's most beautiful alpine meadows — a vast carpet of wildflowers suspended above the treeline with 360° views of snow-capped Hindu Kush and Himalayan peaks. This is the most accessible high-altitude meadow experience in Pakistan, reachable from Islamabad in just 5 hours and walkable by anyone with reasonable fitness. The trek starts at Shogran (2,362m), a pretty resort town of wooden chalets in the Kaghan Valley, and ascends through fragrant pine forests to emerge onto the extraordinary open meadows of Siri Paye. The views of Makra Peak, Musa Ka Musalla, and the surrounding peaks are breathtaking.
