Isb to Gittidas/Dharamsar Lake, Chillas (Tea Break) then nonstop to Rama/Astore.
Left home @ 3:30 AM via Murree express way to Abbottabad/Mansehra then Balakot, soon after I left home the rain started, it was well hard rain. The visibility was so poor but I kept driving in slow. I stopped over at Balakot for Breakfast @8:30. Left Balakot for Naran at 9:15. Reached Naran @ 11:30AM. After spending some time in Naran I left for Babusar/Gittidas.
Gittidas/DharamSar Lake
Reached Gittidas/DharamSar Lake @ 01:30PM (planned lunch at Gittidas but it was too cold and windy so skipped lunch plan), I always had great time spending in Gittidas and Dharamsar Lake. The place is really mesmerizing, very peaceful and calm. Someone can really enjoy the peaceful atmosphere here, no pollution, no vehicle traffic not even human crowded. We stayed there for almost 2 hrs. Then suddenly clouds started hovering from all sides and I had to rush towards Babusar to avoid any uncertain situation. The peaks started getting white, and in a very short while all the mountains in surrounding were fully covered with snow, it was quite cold down there in Gittidas 2 Degrees. Will share the pictures with place tags. Reached Shangrilla Resorts Chillas at 04: 30PM, had to meet Mr. Kousar (Manager Shangrila Resort) very good family friend and had tea with him. Left Chillas @ 6:15 nonstop to Rama/Astore. Reached Rama/Astore @ 9:30PM.
