Dear All
Assalaam-0-Alaikum
By the grace of Allah, me and my wife have successfully completed our 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] tour to Baltistan. I have been to Baltistan three times before (once with my wife) but I could not attempt Deosai due to unwanted reasons, this time however we managed to see undoubtedly the best place on earth.
Since we spent a lot in last years? trip, we decided to save as much as we can in this trip and we used Public transport a lot for travelling. Which was very convenient
