Two different journeys start here
Mansehra is the point where the Kaghan valley road and the Karakoram Highway separate, and which one you want changes how you should plan.
The Kaghan valley
Balakot, Shogran, Kaghan and Naran. Vans and jeeps from the terminal, seasonal, closed for much of winter.
The Karakoram Highway
Besham, Chilas and Gilgit. Through buses pass Mansehra already loaded from Pirwadhai.
Hazara towns
Oghi, Battagram and the surrounding district, served from the Mansehra stand.
Do not plan to join a Gilgit bus here
The Karakoram Highway services leave the twin cities in the early evening and pass Mansehra already full. If Gilgit, Hunza or Skardu is your destination, travel to Rawalpindi and board at Pirwadhai instead. Mansehra works as a transfer point for the Kaghan valley, not for the KKH.
