By May, Shogran and Naran are usually accessible by 4WD. Hotel prices and occupancy rates are low at this time, but many of the scenic attractions are still under snow. High season begins in earnest in June. The monsoon brings rain and numerous temporary roadblocks in July and August, but up valley travel is possible. August is the best time for a jeep crossing of the Babusar Pass, at least until the road is completely upgraded. Fine weather returns in September and October, with the nights getting colder and the chance of snow in late October. From late November to early April snow routinely blocks the road beyond Kaghan, and the upper villages are mostly deserted
