We are planing a tour of Northern areas from the start to mid of October this year. We are a group of 9 university students (both males and females) from Karachi. We have max 14-15 days to return back to Karachi. We are totally relying on public transport, spending nights at hotels\guest houses and will hire PJ where necessary. Plan is as follows:
Day1: Karachi to Rawalpindi by train
Day2: Rawalpindi to Shogran (via KKH probably) by coaster
Day3: Shogran to Siri Paye and back on the same day by jeep and trekking where necessary
Day4: Shogran to Naran by coaster and visit Saif ul Mulook by jeep and trekking where necessary
Day5: Naran to Lalazar then to Lulusar and stay there for the night (Any good and economic hotel there?)
Day6: Lulusar to Fairy Meadows and spend a night there (Can we find any place to stay there at night? b\c we don't have camps)
Day7: Fairy Medows to Naran
Day8: Naran to Kutton (via Muzaffarabad) by coaster
Day9: Kutton to Arang Kel and return to Kel by night
Day10: Kel to Taobat and back to Kel on the same day by jeep
Day11: Kel to Sharda and visit Sharda, leave for Muzaffarabad by evening and spend night at Muzaffarabad
Day12: Muzaffarabad to Rawalpindi by coaster
Day13: Rawalpindi to Karachi by train
Kindly suggest estimated budget per head and any amendment should be made to the plan?
Can we make it in the estimated time? What will be the must carry things in October?
