For this whole trip i.e. (from Balakot to Balakot) i paid 20,500, may be some extra money is charged but jeep ride was wonderful, Driver Fazal was too kind, and he knows all the points and location, secondly with family on board he drive carefully and no cheap acts or talk ,and I enjoyed his company and most of all he never was in a hurry, at lalazar he suugested to leave early as weather was getting cloudy and the track was slippery. If i vist again i will certainly book him again
