Swat
Swat is a district in the Malakand Division of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The city is a significant hub of artifacts and remained a center of early Buddhism.
The city was seized when the Taliban took over for almost two years between 2007 and 2009. But now the authorities have restored peace in the region, and it has again regained its popularity.
Swat is nearly 250 km from Islamabad, 229 km from Abbottabad, 295 km from Naran, and only 165 km from Peshawar.

Naran
Naran is a famous town in the upper Kaghan Valley in the Mansehra District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The city is famous among tourists and travelers from around the country and outside.
To name a few popular tourist destinations around the city, we have Shogran, Siri Paye, Kaghan, Naran, Lake Saif-ul-Malook, and Babusar Top, Lulusar lake. Imagine living close to these beautiful places and exploring them whenever you can. But certainly, you can’t live there around the year because its temperature drops below the freezing point of water. You have very few options to buy a home or apartment in Naran or nearby places if you are interested in acquiring a vacation home. However, the city is developing naturally, and there will be more options than now.
The Bottom Line
If you ask us, Nathia Gali is the best option to buy a vacation home. It is close to Islamabad and various other top-notch places. The city is calm and less populated than Murree, Abbottabad, and Swat. Lastly, the property values here in the city are still affordable, and it’s an excellent time to buy a new property before it gets too expensive.
