What are the prices and opening hours for Logar Valley?

If you’re coming with a motor vehicle, you have to pay an entrance fee. It is 7 € for cars and 8 € for vans. Their working hours in the summertime are from 8 am to 4 pm (approximately).

PRO TIP: If you come outside working hours, you don’t have to pay.

PRO TIP #2: Sleeping in campers overnight is forbidden. We still did it for one night (as some others did too), but the next day all campers got a kind note asking not to do it. So if you get one, don’t risk it as you can get a fine.

Put visiting Logar Valley on your list as you will enjoy the views so much. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy nature. It’s suitable for everyone: friends, couples, families with children. To explore the main attractions, one full day is enough. If you want to do it more thoroughly, take a few days.
