Mohd.Waqas very Nice your picture & details.
Kindly confirm Can go the Coaster of 25 seater from Bahrain to Kalam ?. Slow slow because I have plan Annual tour with my Family's in mid of June...
Great Shots Dear (Y)A lot of activities in the specified time span. We do face many hurdles in every tours and at the end if we can digitally count it above average(50%) then we can call it a GREAT TOUR. And seems that you enjoyed the tour from every available resource. What do you say know to take our own cars till Bahrain or upto Kalam.
Nice clicks and nice narration buddy.
Been there in 2012 may-ish ..... I took my pajero that time and now reading all this and looking at the pix I fancy doing another tour on my belta Insha'Allah.
Upload some more pix, photography is awesome.
no problem bhai sb. i just made it
thanks - i think so in mid June you can do it till kalaam a lot of work is going on, road is rough but Hiace is common for local transport so i think there should not be any big problem for coaster

Amazing photos...imagine what it must have been like to actually be there! But I guess this trip for you was done in fast forward mode
Walikum Salaam
Brother about vehicle usage and road condition please check my Opening Post i edit it with some extra information about roads.
Please confirm from some hotel in Malam Jabba if they are open or not because on my trip there was some security issue in malam jabba and tourists were not allowed to go there.
Mahondand will be close in this month because of big Ushu Glacier please confirm before leaving if its clear or not.
thanks - off-course pictures never justify the real feel of any natural place - hahah yes you can say that because in short time i always try to reach on maximum places
@mohd.waqas : Just one word... "AALA"
wonderful pictures
waiting for more
A very legendary tour sirI am CA trainee student and i have a very busy routine, although i am very fond of touring but i just don't have the timeSuch a boring life i have......lol
We visit Swat Valley in last week.You should take your car till Bahrain then hire NCP car for kalam and ahead.There are few bad patches before Mingora then between Madyan & Bahrain. Madyan to Bahrain portion of road is under-construction and will be completed in few days. From Bahrain to Kalam, road is very bad, cars are going to kalam but not advisable.You can go directly to Malam Jabba easily in 1 day from Faisalabad.You should spent minimum 2 days in Kalam then come back.It seems difficult that Mahoodand Lake rout will be opened in this month.Security is fine in whole swat valley but there was 1 bad incident on 1st May on Malam Jabba side and tourist faced some problem in visiting Malam Jabba on 1st May, We visited Malam Jabba on 3rd may and did not face any problem just 2-3 check posts.
Zahid bhai bundle of thanks for such detailed info. Actually the days we have selected to go on route is 11th June till weekend. So I hope Mahodand Lake stays open for that time of month.Also, its alright till Bahrain if the car can go. Now, the only confusion I have is, where will I park the car? Is there some kind of area for car parking? Because if we leave from Bahrain and explore areas ahead for 2-3 days.. Is it safe to leave the car there? Please update on how this works?Thanks much!
Yes I checked the updates on Road Conditions you posted later on thank you. I am actually to leave on 11th June so I hope Mahodand Lake will be available for visiting.Now the only confusion I have is, where will I park the car? Is there some kind of area for car parking? Because if we leave from Bahrain and explore areas ahead for 2-3 days.. Is it safe to leave the car there? Please update on how this works? I have asked the same question to Zahid bhai but please do respond to this as well.. Because I think this is the kind of stuff only the person who have experienced such can tell better. Needless to say I really Love my Car lol...
