Kuwai Waterfall (also spelled Kiwai or Kewai) is a roadside cascade on the climb from Balakot toward Kaghan and Naran, just below the Shogran side road. It is the Shogran sightseeing stop written into PTG Skardu-by-road quotes.

You do not need a jeep — the waterfall is visible from the Kaghan road with a short walk. Standard, Deluxe, and Luxury 6-day packages include this pause on day 1 before overnight in Naran.
