With the grace of Almighty Allah after many short trips of Karachi Travelers Group finally we have done a wonderful long trip of Swat & Bahawalpur
Plan was cooking in my mind since last few months for Swat, Kashmir, Sialkot & Bahawalpur and I shared my plan to @bilalsiddique bhai he confirmed his availability for the trip till Swat & Kashmir and I have decided to go ahead alone but
before few days of our trip my friend Junaid received a call of his friend who lived in Swat he told him that winter was very bad now a days due to dryness and no snow & rains you should postpone your trip.
He (Junaid) discussed with me about that condition and I replied "Yar chuttiyan bari mushkil se approve hue hain dates change nahi ho sakti ab kuch bhi ho jana he hy".
Due to this call we have decided that after spend some time in Swat we will prepare our plan for Kashmir If winter bearable we will go ahead if not we move back to home & it was a wise decision.
It was really damn cold there in Swat and we face many serious injuries there like I suffer two hours badly freezing & Shivering in Kalam my all fellows worried about me someone put blankets on me someone rub my toes some one sit on my legs and someone gave heat by gas cylinder I really very thankful to all my dudes who give their best rescue on that critical time (main ne to kalma parh lia tha us raat wese)
Then next morning I fall in Swat river but again safe Alhamdulillah actually friends wants some photography near river when we get closed I tried to capture river bank so when I put my foot on a wet stone I slipped.
Next day in Miyandam we all suffer with very bad Gas attack in room we burn coal & also burn Gas Cylinder due to coldness and we didn't make any air ventilation in room so after few hours gas was fill heavily in room we put both things out of room and again pack our room and sleep after an hour or two Bilal bhai woke up and try to open the door but he failed and fall on me as I was slept on mattress I asked him what happened he replied I feel suffocation and uncomfortable during this discussion I also feel that my breath is going on and my heartbeat beating very fast I said to bilal bhai Yar meri bhi saans sahi nahi a rahi thandy paseeny a rahy hain abhi ye baten ho he rahi thi k Badar Basher also shout Main mar raha hon sans nahi a raha mujhy after that call i jumped out of my bed and open the door of room temperature was -5 to -6 at that moment
Badar Bashir to Bahar aty he Thandy Yakh farash per lyt gaya main ne bhi apni sansen bahal ki then after 15 mins we were able to sleep again so this was the reason to avoid Kashimr or other extreme cold places next morning we all feel bad headache hamari body buri tarhan kanp rahy thy jese jan he na ho and it was due to Gas affects
My advice to all my friends kindly use Gas Cylinder very carefully as it is a death toll
We spent Four days & three nights in kalam then return
I have many leaves left so I was thinking what to do for them first we decide we should spend two days in nathiagali and one day in muree for refreshing but on the way back from mingora Bilal bhai receive a call of Sufian @xoofi he said that they are coming for a road trip they have a plan to visit interior sindh and south punjab till bahawalpur after this call I decide to talk with sufian to join them in Bahawalpur so I called him and he replied most welcome
