Diran Hotel

Karakoram Highway


The best accommodation is provided by Diran Hotel, in a walled orchard east of a large mosque. Rooms vary in comfort and size, and prices vary with the seasons, but you are sure to find something that suits. The excellent restaurant here has several tasty local specialities, such as chicken gorkon, cooked in a traditional stone pot. Trekking guides and porters and jeep safaris can all be organised at the hotel, where you can also find information on short walks.
