well the trip was much off season since we went there in sep back in year 97. the weather was very harsh and due to heavy snowfall we struck up for good about 5 days at paiju and it took us 15 days to reach concordia from skardu.anyways lot of memories. the image quality is not good coz at that time digital cams were not so common n these pics were shot from ordinary yashica cam.

How much deep this chota pani?

You can see the depth.. max one feet deep. Early season ma zara ziada deep hotaay hain yeh pani...

i think its shatong region/ shatong nala. before the bara pani.. in balti language shatong means meat and i dont know why this place is named as shatong...

[conflicted]

and this is only due to a broken bridge.. bridge thik ho jaey ga to phir sab sahi ho jaey ga,, about a few years back there was a small bridge that is broken last year. so jeeps are diverted to such a point where waters are shallow and crossing can be made...

surely this is shatong nala.. just a trek leads on left side and about 1 full day trek will lead u to 6 lakes of unfathomed beauty..

[ranasherdil]

@conflicted....

Where is Chota Pani???

Bridges are under constrction on all Pani at Deosai. Even a new bridge is under construction at Bara pani.

[MultaniTraveler]

so this confirms that motor bike can cross this area. Am i right??????????????

[ranasherdil]

so this confirms that motor bike can cross this area. Am i right??????????????

Yes CG-125 can cross this. The other water without the bridge is Kala Pani...

Some of the early season pics, I seen, that bikers didn't dare to cross these, Instead they crossed while loading bikes on tractor trollies.

But in End July, it was possible for bikes like CG-125...

[conflicted]

@conflicted....

Where is Chota Pani???

Bridges are under constrction on all Pani at Deosai. Even a new bridge is under construction at Bara pani.

there is no chota pani.. han ahead bara pani is a crossing named as kala pani, from there onwords (near kala pani) u can reach murtaza chouki and chota deosai ...

shatong nalla is the first point, after ali malik pass, than bara pani than kala pani than shoesar lake and than chilam chouki... that is the road of deosai..

yes bridge building and road construction is in process. and i wish keh aisa na ho to behtar hai... coz road ban gaya to jo hal saiful maluk ka hua woh deosai ka ho jaey ga...

woh deosai jo trek kiya tha uss main aur aaj key deosai main kafi farq aa chuka hai.. aab har koi wahan pohanch jata hai and i wish only nature lovers should reach there.

[conflicted]

so this confirms that motor bike can cross this area. Am i right??????????????

bhiya aab to bike halwey ki trah guzrey ga.. no problem at all ...
