Korang River

The Korang River is a tributary of the Soan River located in the Potohar region. It originates in the Murree hills and flows through the landscape between Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Travelers visit this area to experience the natural environment and river scenery situated between the two cities.

Getting There

The river is accessible from Rawalpindi city centre via local transport or taxi. Depending on the specific access point and traffic conditions, the journey typically takes 20 to 40 minutes.

A visit to the riverbanks generally requires 2 to 4 hours, depending on whether you are walking along the water or resting in the surrounding natural areas.
