Panoramic View of Kunhar River

While traveling toward Naran we stopped at a restaurant by the name "River Park" at the bank of river Kunhar, near Balakot. The Kunhar River with its crystal clear waters from the glaciers and the famous orange and pink trout fish pass through this valley and is considered the most prominent feature of this valley. River Park restaurant is a decent eatery and as it was off season so the cook let us know that it will take approx. 30 min to serve. By taking advantage of that time we sit alongside the river bank. We uprooted our shoes and socks and plunged our feet into the water, the water was perfect yet all that much colder. Since we have travelled such a long journey it feels too great by sitting along the river bank and feeling the smoothness and peace of the environment. After 30 min the lunch was served, we chose to sit along the river bank and have our lunch there, it was instantly organized by the inn staff. The food was extremely delectable and after lunch we proceeded with our excursion toward Naran.
