Vehcile: Honda City 2011
People: 5 Adults, 2 kids under 10
Day1:
We left Islamabad (G-15 near Tarnol) at 4:40 AM on 22nd June 2012. We left G.T road at 5:20 AM at Hasan Abdal. We Reached Abotabad at 6:40 AM. We took Mansehra Bypass at 7:10AM. We reached Kewai at 9:00 AM.
I was hesitant to take my car to Shoran, so we took a jeep from Kewai to take us to Shogran and then from there to SriPay and back to Kewai.
Car Parking fee was 200, Jeap rent was 3800 (we stayed night at hotel and then the same jeep took us back in morning to Kewai).
You can take your car although if you are very about your car, majority of people take their own car to Shoran. All types of cars were there. We reached Shoran at 9:35 AM. We got a room there for 2500. Checked in hotel, left for Sripaye at 10:30 AM
Day 2:
Left Shoran at 6:15 AM, We reached kewai 6:50. Left Kewai at 7:00 AM, I was thinking as its only 60KM it should not take more 90 min, but there were stoppages at some points due to the road condition, (we stopped for breakfast for 30 min), We reached Naran at 10:15 AM.
Naran was very crowded; i think it took me 20 min to cross Naran bazar and one hour to find a hotel. We got a room for 4000 there. We checked in hotel, stayed there for an hour, then went out to find a jeep to go to Saiful Malook.
At 12:30PM t proved to be a difficult task, most of the jeaps alreadt left, so with less jeeps and more people jeep owners put the rates high. Ever jeep has rates listed which states that Saiful Malook rent is 2000 and you can stay there for 2 hours. But everybody was asking for 3000 at this time and stay of 90 min. We spent some time and got a jeep for 2500.
Started journey at 1:00 PM and reached Jheel at 2:15PM, really enjoyed the weather and scenery there. At 3:45PM we left saiful malook, on our way back we got stuck at the glacier cross for 100 min almost. We reached Naran at 6:30PM
Day 3:
Left hotel at 6:30 AM. Plan was to reach Jalkhad on my own car and then from there hire a jeep to reach LaluSar lake. Around after 3-4 KM we found a glacier that proved enough for city to stop and turn. I saw a city coming (Same model) and asked them they told me I should try to cross with empty car (no passengers) I tried that but still it was low enough to touch the bottom of car. I canceled the program and turned back to Naran and around 9:00 AM left for Islamabad. Reached Islamabad at 5:15 PM.
I will keep posting pictures
