From Islamabad.. take a coaster from Faizaabad Skyways to Muzaffarabad. Will take 4 hours. Book window seat conductor side
From Muzaffarabad Lorry Adda... Take rocket bus for Kel. take approx 10-12 hours... better to take early in morning for sight seeing enroute.
Muzaffarabad to Kel buses ply all the day.. from early morning to 8 or 9pm in night.
So plenty of options.. book a window seat on driver side.. while going up to Kel. and conductor side when u back.
Fare is nominal. Muzaffarabad to Kel approx 400.
Kel to Taobutt jeeps ply all day. Charges 200/Person.
Kel to Taobutt 4-5 hours in PT Jeep.
If you want to come back on same day. you must get some early jeep at 5 or 6am.
This jeep ride is unique as you are in a remote area of the pakistan. no phone. Jeep driver will pick envelopes and drops... verbal messages from one village to other. People are very friendly. People near Taobutt are sheen people not kashmiri origin.
Going SOLO good. Hetels with nominal rates Rs. 200 or 300 are available in all towns of the Neelum Valley upto Kel. I completed my Neelum Valley Trip in just 44 Hours (Muzaffarabad To Taobutt and back) one night in travel and other spent in Gilani Hotel Sharda.
Thanks
Thank you.
