As mentioned that it took 2 hours to reached to Zero-Point (Chillas - Babusar Junction). After hitting zero point, i continue my travel and the next destination was ASTORE.
The weather become dramatically changed, now i am in 38'C from 15'C. All the green lush mountains have been vanished and now i am surrounded by Black Barren Mountains. The merciless River Sindh is at the left side of the road and i was on the right side.
It took another 3 Hours to reached ASTORE from Zero-Point.
The road to ASTORE is entire Off-Road. Sedans are not recommended although i have seen few Cuore, Vitz travelling on that road.
Road is narrow and you have to travel along with Nala (Mini-River).
I stayed at Farhad Mess in Astore, the arrangements were really nice and economical, plus WIFI facility and Cable is available
Make sure you carry "Mosquito Repellent" with you, as you cant bear with their Mosquito Bite:S
I stayed one night in ASTORE, had a wonderful Iftaari and a tight sleep as the next day was full of travelling and surprises.
