hope you all doing well.
so the idea you get from the title, we 7 friends visited all those places mentioned above:)
it was a 4 day tour, 18. 19.20. 21 sep.
BACKGROUND:
from a long time we friends were planning a tour to NORTHERN AREAS, (as we also done this before in winter, not all the places), 100th of times this plan was cancelled and 100th of time we agreed to go, as we are students and hostelite so we have to look at everything:P.
so finally the date was selected and also time, we choose 18th of sep, thursday, and we left from wahh cantt at 3.00 a.m.
FIRST DAY:
we were using suzuki bolan, we reach abbotabad at 4.30am, picked friend from there and waited for fajar prayers, after that we again started our journey.
we left abbotabad at 5.00 am, we were moving slow and steady cx we were in no rush, had a break in manshera and then reachd balakot for breakfast at 10, have breakfast there then we left for kaghan, reached kaghan at 12, have a tea break there then left for naran, reachd naran at 1.15pm, we were discussing that what to do either take our vehicle to jheel or hire a jeep, had a lil break there and left for jheel saif-ul-malook on our own vehicle after 2 km, some of my friends said to me that we cant do it on our own vehicle so lets hire a jeep, so we change the plan there and hire a jeep and then finally on the first day of our tour we reach to our first destination at 5 pm, JHEEL SAIF-UL-MALOOK...
at night time we planned to go to AANSOO lake, (as this was not in our plan), some refuses some agreed , finally all agreed to go:).
SECOND DAY:
at 8am we all woke up for the view of JHEEL SAIF-UL-MALOOK, which was awsome...as when we moved down to book horses, their faces was saying something else, even the police officer which was on the entry table while we were moving also said that bhai mat jao wahan...
reason was some robbery scenes and security problems. but we didnt hear anything because we were excited to go, finally we left our dslr and some phones at the reception table at the hotel and take just one phone for snaps...
we started our journey towards lake at 9.30am
we booked 4 horses, out of 7, 4 started their journey and me and my 2 friends we started it by walk, after 2 hours and 45 min walk we reached base camp, from their we all started trekking, cx horses were not able to take any person till 400-500m..
after that me with my other friends which were walking with me start moving on horses and others started by walk, and after 4 and a half hour we reachd AANSOO lake. and that feeling when i saw that lake is .....aaahhhhh....i cant describe it in words, that was speechless, awsome(H)..
that track was not eaasy, as you can imagine by time how much we take time to reach there, well if i get chance iwill upload a video when we reachd there...
after 30 min we start trekking to come back due to security reasons..
we reachd back in 2 hours and 30 mins..
the time was around 5.30 to 6 when we reachd back to base, and all were there was like aaaahhh, you all done it, ap sab end tak gaye thay? and yes we wre HAAN (H)...
people of there were saying that after 6pm you will not be able to hire a jeep, so we came fast as we were moving to naran at the same day, and we reachd naran at almost 8 at the same day sound and safely
THIRD DAY:
program was to move to LULUSAR LAKE, and we were going with the plan, we left naran at 10am, and start moving, reachd LULUSAR at 12.30.
and LULUSAR LAKE was also just awsome....
we were there for 2 hours, and then we were ready to come back, when we were near naran when coming back, we stoped at a place, installed our camp there and had a tea break there, after that at 9.30 we reachd naran...
by the next day we were planning to move to shugran and at the same day we were planning to go back, so we planned to go to kiwai, spend nite there and by early morning we will move to shugran, at 11.30pm we reachd kiwai , every hotel were closed there and weather was also not good, so we moved to balakot , at 12,30 we reachd balakot, had spend nite there...
FOURTH DAY:
woke up late at 9.30, cx all was tired, start moving to shugran at 11.30, and reach shugran at 1pm sound and safe
after a break of 3 hours we planned why not to go to siri-paye, booked a jeep in no time and we start the journey at 3,15, after keeping in mind that before night we have to reach back to wahh, at 4.25 we reachd paye, and the feeling and the smile which was coming on every of my friend including me was just speecdhless....
