Hi,
I just came back from a short trip of Naran/Lulusar .
On Saturday, we start from Naran, the Original plan was to visit babusar top and back. Unfortunately our car got some electrical fault at Lulusar lake. Which costs us 6 precious hours and Rs. 10000 as one of our member go back to Naran , came with Electrician who charged RS. 4000 and jeep rent Rs. 3500 for Naran to Baisal plus RS 1000 for tow to Baisal from lake.
But the real story is , as the sun goes down , we decided to tow our car and reach Baisal so we can stay a night there as we don?t have any contact with our member who went Naran for electrician. We reached Baisal at 5:45 and start waiting for electrician. Due to no mobile network coverage we were bit worried.
At approx. 6:30 Pm, a prado crossed baisal, there was a family in it, going back their home in gilgit. There is a bridge at start of Lolusar lake, about 8 to 10 people , wearing face masks and goat horns on their head, stopped them, robbed them ,even they took their luggage tied on roof and parked the Prado crossword on the bridge. They have knives and guns. They robbed 2 more vehicles and run on mountains.
According to the police at Baisal check post this was the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] incident of this season in the area. 1[SUP]st[/SUP] was on Dudipatsar lake in August. Fortunately there was no tourist there that night and they robbed the hotels and local people. I heard that the police don?t let the tourists to camp at dudipatsar.
The local authorities should do something to stop that kind of incidents.
