Kohistan Tourist Inn

The best and biggest option for travellers in these parts is set on a bend of the KKH, about 2km south of Pattan. The hotel has bright, clean rooms with wire-screened windows and the friendly manager is a great source of local information. There's a (proposed) tea garden beside the churning Chowa Dara Khwar, which will be great for weary travellers. The hotel restaurant has a small vegetarian and Continental (chicken gruel!) selection along with the typical curries and Chinese favourites.
