I went on a trip to Naran with a friend lasting from 9th Sep to 12th. The target this year was lake Dudipatsar
which is a 13km trek from Besal. Besal is a little over 50 kilometers ahead of Naran. Pictures of the trip are
attached in the order of places visited.

I left Lahore at about 9pm at night and headed straight for Naran non-stop (barring stops for fuel). The car
was a 1996 Honda Civic Exi (1500cc) with about 178,000 kms on the odo. Before I left, the car was tuned and
the throttle body was serviced to prepare for a fuel efficiency check on the way. Fuel was topped up at the
fuel pumps right after Thoker and then we hit the motorway. I averaged a speed of about 85kms/hr while keeping
the car in fifth gear and lightly feathering the throttle. A/C was used about 25% of the time as the weather
wasn't very warm that day. I got off the motorway at Burhan and then topped up the tank. I averaged over
18km/ltr which is quite impressive. Driving at 120km/hr. I would have gotten a little over 14km/hr. Anyway
that concluded the fuel efficiency check.

Day 1
========================================
We arrived in Naran at around 9 a.m. The delay primarily caused due to the extended time it took on the
motorway since we weren't going too fast. We checked into the hotel and then decided to hit the road again.
The destination for the day was lake Lulusar and Babusar Top.
