Dear Pak Wheelers:)
Previous winter season have taken its turn till 21[SUP]st[/SUP] of March and we are in SPRING now. This winter season was quite busy . Busy on the trek and in the work too. Me along with teams attempted MKM from Nadi Bangla, Said Good buy to Makra with the last moments of 2013. Both these events shared on Pak Wheels and you friends shown your evergreen likeness on the virtual treks.
In 2014, Me along with Faraz @faraz74 did the Ganga Peak(3045M) on January 31 and then did a family tour to NAthiagali in mid February and attemted Pipeline Trek and Meeran Jani trek with the kids. Shahbaz @Shahbazzain was also with us on Meeranjani trek.
Due to time constraint couldn?t post it on PW. Faraz and Shahbaz also couldn?t help to make a formal post on those treks. So, here will try to post some selective posts of Both the trek
Ganga Peak(3045m):
Visiting Dates: Jan 31 to Feb 02, 2014.
Route: Rawlakot, Bagh, Sudhen Gali, Ganga Peak
Trek Route: about 7/8km(one Way) from Sudhen Gali to Ganga Peak
Trek Time: About 9 hours(Ascending 6hours and descending 3 hours)
Trek Level: Easy to moderate (not too much snow as expected in Jan/Feb)
Important note: When we left Sudhen Gali after the trek, snow fall about to start and we seen a picture from a friend a day after our visit. There was hell of difference of snow level then. Even the guest house from where we camped have one feet of snow after one day.
NathiGali:
Visiting Dates: Feb 14 to Feb 16, 2014.
Route: ISD, Dunga gali, pipe line trek, Nathiagali, Meeranjani trek
Meeran jani Trek Time: About 7 hours(Ascending 6hours and descending 3 hours)
Trek Level: moderate (too much snow on the trek)
Important note: Continue snow fall on our way to Nathiagali made the trek more challenging. As I was with the family so, the main purpose was to go uptill LIMITS not to scale the meeran jani. We (Me, My Son Nihal, My nephew Hannan) started at 9 and we reached near the top till 13:30. Due to short window of weather it was the last time check from where we decided to come back On the trek Shahbaz Zain also joined us which was in touch with us. Reached to Nathia gali at about 16:00 and then way back to FSD.
Hope you freinds like this thread as my previous travelogues.
