3 days Motor bike tour (24,25,26 sep)
Alhamdulillah another successful Tour of 2k16 exploring lakes of Neelam valley
Started out traveling at 5 pm from Islamabad, with many shorts breaks reach dowarian at mid night, now there was challenging off-road track of dowarian Rati Gali base camp. There was snowfall and rain, track was muddy which makes it almost impossible but as it was a targeted tour so we can't afford any latency. Started it and completed it in 2 hours in such conditions
Our camp was ready , in freezing temperature we spend some time at stream coming from Rati Gali lake in moon light, it was matchless experience, then we moved Into camp as there was alot to cover in one day
Early morning Wake up call, after breakfast, with local friend raess inqlabi we started our track and covered following lakes
*Hans Raj
*Kala sar lake no 1,2&3
*Gattian lake no 1,2&3
*Mighty rati Gali lake
We choose most steep path as route and according to local guide (raess inqlabi) it was first time done by anyone
