Dear PW Friends, we did try to explore some areas of Neelum Valley in the last week of june,2012. Absence of one week from job hardly allows a hectic procedure of uploading a thread. It becomes more difficult in the case of 1[SUP]st[/SUP] attempt to post a thread and when already a number of good threads of same place were in progress too. But we are just posting this thread to show our compliments to our visited places with the aim to do better in next time.
Our itenerary was

Our ride was Cultus and we were three members on this tour
Mr Azam Khan
Mr Rashid(Me)
Mr Safeer
Objective of the tour: Main objective of the tour was to see and compliment our beloved Pakistan. Beside this our team want to try some simple treks(about a few hours round) to check our stamina before putting ourselves into some longer/a bit difficult treks. We felt that we aren't so bad/old to do this.
Lets look into our journey and be generous to point out /correct the mistakes which we did/will do in our actual/virtual tour.
Regards
Rashid
