Up in the cool hills of Rawalakot, Chinar Guest House offers boys a modest, no-fuss base along the Rawalakot Bypass at Shamsabad. It keeps to the basics and does them honestly: there is parking for guests who drive up into Azad Kashmir, and an on-site cook who prepares meals on the premises, which is exactly what you want after a long mountain journey when eating out is the last thing on your mind. Nightly rates range from PKR 4,000 to PKR 6,000, keeping it friendly for travellers on a tighter budget. The Bypass location makes coming and going simple, whether you are passing through or using Rawalakot as a launch point for exploring the surrounding valleys. There is no pretence of luxury here, and that is rather the point, a warm plate of food, somewhere to leave the car, and a place to rest your head between days spent out in the Kashmir hills. For boys after an uncomplicated, affordable stay in Rawalakot, it does what it promises.
