Hi gurus,
I am planning to visit Naran and surrounding areas with my friends right after this Eid-ul-Fitr i.e. in between 20th July - 25th July. We are group of 8 people. I am also planning to go to Dudipatsar lake in this tour since it is the most untouched place in Naran and I have came to know that it is the most beautiful lake. I have searched on the forum and have found out that trek to Dudipatsar lake will take 2 days. The detail plan i have made is:
i) Leave Naran at 7 am and reach Besal by Jeeps.
ii) 4hrs trek to Mullah ki Basti from Besal.
iii) Camping at Mullah ki Basti for the night.
iv) Leave Mullah ki Basti at 6 am for the Dudipatsar lake.
v) 2hrs trek to the Dudipatsar lake from Mullah ki Basti.
vi) Reach the lake at 8 am and spend 2 hrs at the lake and leave the lake at 10 am
vii) Return to Besal at 4 pm
viii) Hire jeeps from Besal and return to Naran at 7 pm
Plz give suggestions about my plan. Also I have two main questions:
1) Are there any security issues at Dudipatsar lake? I have found out on the forum that there were some thefts in the past. Should we hire a guide or a local person?
2) Are there jeeps available at Besal when we will be returning to Naran? What are the fares of the Jeeps from Naran to Besal and vice versa?
Looking forward for your guidance. Thanks
