New Traffic Management Plan for Naran Bazaar

As tourist numbers continue to rise in Kaghan Valley, traffic congestion in Naran Bazaar has become a major concern. To address this issue, local authorities have introduced several traffic control measures with immediate effect.

Key Traffic Restrictions Introduced

• Two-way traffic has been completely banned within Naran Bazaar.
• Vehicles entering from Jheel Road and MNJ Road will no longer be permitted.
• All incoming traffic must enter through the Go Petrol Pump side.
• Tourist vehicles exiting hotels, restaurants, and commercial areas must use the designated bypass road.
• Parking inside Naran Bazaar has been strictly prohibited.
• Jeeps have been barred from entering the main bazaar area to reduce traffic congestion.

Officials believe these measures will improve vehicle movement, enhance pedestrian safety, and create a more organized environment for tourists and local businesses alike.

Tourist Complaint Desk and Improved Signage Planned

In addition to traffic regulations, the Kaghan Development Authority (KDA) has been directed to establish a dedicated tourist complaint desk. The facility will allow visitors to report issues related to transport, tourism services, and public facilities.

Authorities have also ordered the installation of additional traffic diversion signs, directional boards, and no-parking notices at key locations throughout Naran and surrounding tourist destinations.

These initiatives are expected to provide better guidance for visitors and support smoother traffic operations during the busy summer tourism season.

Naran, Lake Saif-ul-Malook, Babusar Top, Lalazar, and Siri Paye remain among Pakistan’s most visited tourist destinations, attracting thousands of local and international travelers each year. The revised fare structure and traffic management plan reflect the government’s efforts to improve tourism infrastructure and ensure a safer, more organized experience for visitors.
