Salam PWs,
Mostly members know that I was due to fly for Umra and Ziaraat in first week of June, and that is why no trip was possible. But due to lots of reasons my Umra departure delayed (Now I would be flying for Umra on June 18, after Umra, Syria Visit and return on July 5, that will be another thread), and I got some time to plan a trip.
Surprisingly I have not been to Neelam before, so this trip was almost blindly started to cover as much as possible. Collected some info and gather few friends, and we departed on May 31, 2012 @ 8 PM from Faisalabad.
