We are a group of 6 from Karachi, and planning to visit Fairy Meadows & Neelum in October start. We are totally relying on public transport, spending nights at hotels\guest houses. Our plan is as follows.
Day1: Rawalpindi to Balakot
Day2: Balakot to Fairy Meadows (If we start early, can we make it there by the day end? If can't so where should we stay nearest to FM?)
Day3: Fairy Meadows to Balakot or Shogran (Will try Jalkhad to Sharda route if any jeep driver agrees to take us)
Day4: Balakot to Keran (Can we travel this much distance in a day? Will publich transport be available?)
Day5: Keran to Kel
Day6: Kel to Taobat
Day7: Taboat to Kel
Day8: Kel to Arang Kel and back
Day9: Kel to Rawalpindi or at least Muzaffarabad
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?
