Last weekend i trekked to Pir hassimar top (3200 m) in Azad Kashmir.
the trek starts from Pir Chinnasi near Muzzafarabad and runs along many meadows and forests to the top. the views are spactacular all around.
trek is of moderate difficulty in which the hike from Pir Chinnasi is easy but the decent is realtively hard as one has to reach the main chakoti
road.
time lines:
start of trek pir chinnasi (2800m)= 11.45 am
reach barthain (pir hassimar BC) = 6 pm
start from barthain (next morning) = 6 am
reach Pir Hassimar top (3200 m) = 8.20 am
leave Pir Hassimar top = 9.30 am
reach Dabban = 4 pm
from Dabban we hired jeep to sanghra pul (main chakoti road) a distance of aprox 10 kms and then local transport to muzzafarabad (10 kms)
