Khawateen o Hazraat .... Assalam o Alikum ... Aap ka bhai aik baar phir is baar Ghoom aae Gilgit ki Galiyaan
Visiting Gilgit was becoming a strong wish since the visit of Swat, as the Huge region has lots of variety to offer in terms of landscapes, lakes, roads, mountains, greenery, hotness and coldness with just a minute difference of distance. After lots of sessions, conversations and online searching efforts, Allah made us witness the glamour of Gilgit and surroundings this year in the month of September. As Giglit is a huge region and requires much no of days comparatively then other northern areas therefore we juts focused and planned for Hunza, Khunjrab and Naltar this time .... Dobara aanay k liye bahana tou chhaye na phir .... Skardu, Deosai and Rama phir kabhi sahe
As always there have been many threads going on here on PW focusing GB with lots of useful information which helped me too :). Therefore, i will more focus towards the different perspective and beauty of Gilgit and surroundings i can show rather than the same information of routes and routines.
Last like year of Swat Tour, significant no. of friends could not be available for the tour which made us bring our family again and making this tour a beautiful combo of friends and family Team members were Adbul Rehman and sister, Osama and sister, Me and my brother and sister ... and the trip went like below
