I, My wife & GS-150 (Lahore~Bagh~Hittyan Bala~Chakothi) From August 24 to Sep. 01, 2016
Assalamu?alaikum Wa Rahmatullah to All,
This year our plan was to visit AJK Bagh side and according to our itinerary plan we started our traveling from Lahore via Mirpur,Kotli route toward Bagh & so on. Almighty knows and decides better for us, as we reached in the Bagh the weather (Rain) has disturbed us and disturbed again and again through whole trip. We stayed continuously three (03) nights there in Bagh (Bagh tourism Hotel) due to rain. As per plan we had to visit district Bagh, its surroundings, Sudhan Gali, Ganga Choti, whole Leepa valley and Chakothi as I had taken the NOC (No objection certificate) from Assistant Commissioner Hittyan Bala for Leepa valley visit but we couldn?t visit there due to rain and many places have been missed but thanks to Almighty that we reached back safely home (Lahore). We met many bikers during our trip as they helped us according to situations thanks a lot and God bless all of you. I shall explain all the stories day wise.
The roads condition are not so good in the hilly areas of AJK very dangerous especially in rainy weather if u r traveling on the bike so please be careful if u visit in the rainy season and on the bike try to avoid traveling during rain. We faced some bike slipping during our trip but thanks to Almighty that we didn?t face any major discrepancy there except side mirrors and extra installed lights broken. This is my personal opinion and humbly request to wear all safety gears before going on the long trip as I have seen in various threads that some bikers didn?t use safety gears during their traveling. This is too dangerous. Never drive the bike without at least helmet & safety gloves even if u r traveling in the city area or in your normal routine. Please remember this and advice to others (especially to all youngsters). How the helmet is necessary for a biker?? Brothers!! Life is precious and bike riding is dangerous if u r without safety gears. May God bless our homeland and its inhabitants (Aameen).
