The story

Use this hike entry for the walking itinerary; see Paye Meadows and Shogran Meadows for destination framing. Difficulty depends on how much jeep cover you take - full foot ascent is more moderate, jeep-assisted meadow walks stay easier. Pair with a Shogran overnight or continue toward Naran / Saiful Muluk on a longer Hazara trip. Confirm track status after rain or early snow.
