Here I Am: Rashid from Faisalabad
and I was given the honor to take the team to destination and now to share our virtual story.
I was really in a need to do a trek on Lush Green Valley and Thanks to Allah for full filling my wish. Generally I love to trek in Winters
but my Doctors(
) have prescribed a dose of one trek in a season to me and surprisingly:o I have discovered almost 12 season in a complete ?Fiscal Year?...Thanks to my Luck and kindness of Almighty on me.
Some of the treks which I used to try or complete as per the "prescription" in near past were
Winter Treks
Musa Ka musallah from Munda Gachha side. Also treied MKm from Nadi Bangla side and succeeded to reach till Thandi Gali, Makra Peak, Mukshpuri and Meeran Jani Peaks, Thandiani to Dagri to Phal kot trek, Ganga Peak etc
Summer Treks: Makra Peak, Mukshpuri Peak, Noori Top to Dowarian (Ratti Gali, Noori Lake, Hansraj Lake), Dodipat sar, Jahaz Banda and Jahaz Dand(Katora Lake), Kandol Lake etc
And a long long list is still calling but time and time management forced me to get only a couple of days leaves to listen that calls
i.e. The Mountain Call:)

Initial Run of the Story:
Last year when we did the trek of Kandol Lake with PakWheelrs Gang we have the option and option to visit the spin Khour Lake too but due to time constraint we hardly complete Kandol Lake then. Then with the passage of time we add Izmis Lake too in our list and proposed a plan in summer 2014. Mr Shahbaz Zain@shahbazzain was a great active mate in this planning and when planning get matured he left the circle for another attraction?No offense Shahbaz the Runner. This time our tour planner/Manager @faraz74 was also out of the team, so we have to did extra Hard work to meet his standards. Faraz you always do a great job ?.we acknowledge it right now. Initially we have the plan to keep the minimum members in this trek, then this number increase to six and due to drop out of some members we locked it to 4 only as it iwas a Run, run, run trek and we don?t want a big crowd here. So Finally Me, Safeer, Abas and Imran Arshad were included in the team.
We all decided to reach at Islamabad on 19[SUP]th[/SUP] of June before 21:00 and try to catch the 21:00 Coaster for Mingora from Darbar Adda in Pir Wadhai chowk. In season, coaster ply after every hour. We all members have to reach there from three different spots. Me along with Safeer have to reach from Faisalabad. Abas have to start from Gujranwala and Imran was coming from the Islamabad. We left the office at 14:30 and directly reached to Bilal Daewoo. Got two tickets (Rs 750 each) for Islamabd and took our seats. There was an exemplary hotness in Faisalabad and Burning hotnes at Bus station then. Bus started right at 16:00 and we began to coordinate with other team members. Abas also left the Gujranwala on same time and Imran was still relaxed in Islamabad then. Our first target was to reach before 21:00 so that we can reach well in time in Mingora and consequently to days destination. We reached Islamabad a bit late and Abas was even more due to the obvious reason(related with Public Transport) of tire punctures. By knowing the situation of the members, it was evident that we certainly going to miss the 21:00 coaster , so we asked Imran to reach at 21:30 and we all try to get into the 22:00 time. We also reached there and were calling to Abas after every two minutes to check his up to time status but at that time it seems that LUCK wasn?t with us despite the fact of our every effort to Run, run, run. Finally Abas reached at the spot when we haven?t any option to take the tickets of 23:00time
