A trip under 40K

Asalaam Alikum everyone, guys I am planning a Trip to the northern Parts of Pakistan alone and i have a very limited budget so i just want to visit 2-3 places but i want spend few days at one place to capture the beauty of that one place, i don't like hiring tours who will take people to places for few hours and than move, i want freedom to stay on a random spot for as long as i want .. I don't have a license nor i know Driving but i can drive Bikes .

I am from Karachi and thinking about traveling in Train . My budget is around 400$ aka 40,000 Pakistani Rupee, so if anyone knows places which is worth visiting under limited budget than please let me know , Its a very random decision to make this trip plus i am a student so increasing my budget is not an option . What i know so far that Train ticket is around 5000-5500 Pkr from Karachi-Rawalpindi .
I have no Idea about rates for Hotels, Transport , Food in those areas . I have once travel to Lahore, Muree, Islamabad when i was 5 years old and since than i have never been into Punjab and beyond .
My first choice is to Travel to Naran Valley, and than come all the way down to Muzafrabad staying at various location for 1-2 days intervals but i am not sure if this is possible under such small budget, so anyone who went there or live in those / close by areas can help me regulate my budget .

I visited Attabad lake and poted pics here too but it was frozen and clearly i went in the wrong season but dont regret going their. I stayed at a hotel in hunza and got 2 rooms for 3K a night but summer charges are 7.5K a night per room. Going in winter is cheap but then temperatures of -20 at night and no heating. I stayed in chalas for one night again bloody cold and hotel was 4.5K for one night.

But spring season will see a price hike for sure.

Yea the lake was 30 min drive from my hotel. Off season is right now. Spring is when tourists start arriving as it gets a little warmer.
