What to Eat in Northern Areas?

“Northern Areas” whenever someone hears this, the mind quickly switches to find two purposes of visiting Northern Areas.

1. Honeymoon
2. Pakistan Tour

No matter what makes you visit the “Glimpse of heavens”, the first thing you will consider is “Khaapa”- Food-, obviously the trip remains incomplete without delicious food. You will find some best of eateries in Quetta but it is hard to find where to eat in Naran, Kaghan Valley and Balakot because these are hilly areas that’s why everything is at the top including “prices”

I still remember the time when my husband and I ate “Andaa Ghotala” with tea at “Siri” and  “Paye” Hills (above Shogran) in “only 700” rupees each. Anyways you just need to ignore the expenses when looking for the perfect comfortable trip. So as the name indicates, Northern Areas have cold climate due to which we didn’t find any fan in the hotels there and that’s the reason you must focus on some limited food items to keep your body temperature moderate. Honestly, you are not going to find a variety of food items but some of the signature food of Northern Areas will make you fall in love with them forever.
