Hello All,
I'm new here, but I hope somebody will be kind enough to help me out.
I am trying to put together a holiday with family (within June/8 days), but since I am not very well informed about the routes and how much time it takes getting from point A to B, I'm having difficulty putting together a practical road plan.
I know what we want to see, but I need help formatting this. We'll be going by road.
Lahore >Naran (saif-ul-muluk) >Fairy Meadows (stop-over) > Gilgit > Karimabad
Any ideas about how bad is it crossing the Attabad Lake? Any experiences? Can a Hiace cross that? Or is it possible to cross it by boat and hire a Jeep from the other end? Is a day trip possible from Karimabad to Passu? Sorry if I sound completely immature, but I wish I had a better idea on how to gauge distance in time in that region. This certainly isn't going to be a drive through Switzerland ..
Any special things to be mindful of for foreigners and women?
What about security?
Mid-budget hotel suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
