AOA
Alhamdulilah, Mira reached back home this morning safe and sound after visiting Shogran and Naran. A brief tour detail, Mira performance and update for friends.
The convey included Altis 1.6 2012 A/T, GLI 2010 MT, Axio 2007 CVT, Mira 2011 CVT.
We took the Khanpur dam road from Taxila to avoid heavy traffic, major portion in new carpeted but old broken road exists in some patches, around 10kms. Bit rough, acceptable patches from Abbotabad to Manshera and few KMs after Manshera. Up till Kiwai road is perfect condition with a very bad crack in the middle of the road before kiwai.
Kiwai Shogran road in very bad shape. Mira made it but i wont take it again, one could take a jeep. Cars can make there but care is more important.
Kiwai to Naran. total 7 glaciers on the road and atleast 3 landslides. Road is fine, japnese car need to cross the patches careful. Axio took some bad hits on its bottom. Mira just kissed few places while going up and none on return.
Just after 4, 5 kms from Naran there is a big glacier and only jeeps can make it.
Stayed pine park Shogran 6,500, average service
Sayyam Heights Naran. Excellent , recommended, 6,500
