Road ahead of Atta Abad lake is wonderful, with an exception of a small patch just after Gulmit.
Passu is a wonderful place. Solitary and Peacful. Amazing beauty.
Do not miss an overnight stay here. SILK Rout Sarai and Passu Ambassador hotel are the best. Also, the Glacier breeze cafe up on the hill with a back drop of the mighty Passu Glacier is a must visit place.
Regarding the prices of the hotels. I am a big fan of Serena Hotels. They might seem a little expensive than the other hotels but you won't repent staying at Serena.PTDC Hotels are just ok.
On our journey back to home, Fotunately, the BABUSAR pass opened. Crossing the Babusar had been a long time dream for me. The road, from Chillas to Babusar was very good with few bad patches.
Now I have come to know that the whole road (Chillas-Babusar-Jalkhad) has been carpeted. Cars can also tread through. I still wonder how the cars will cross the glaciers and flowing water which was at some places 2 feet deep and quiet speedy too.
pls share hotel charges per night and what about quality of food
Serena's rate is approximately 8,000 per night including buffet breakfat. Quality of food is excellent. Ptdc rates are 4500 average with below avwrage to worst food quality and value for money.
