There are many threads on Neelum Valley. So anyone can get information from any thread. But I have made this thread for those people who wants to visit whole Neelum Valley through public transport, because a few days back when i was going to Neelum Valley, I have not seen any thread on Pakwheels which is purely through public transport. So I decided to make such thread. Thanks

After that 2 more times of coasters go to Kel at 06: 00pm and 08: 00pm, but these 2 coasters reach Kel in morning, so they stoped everywhere for passing night on the way. Dont go in these times if you want to save your night).
