Dear Friends
I am starting this thread on orders of Nauman Bhai(Nomi700), Ishaq Bhai (hmishaq),Amir Bhai (Skill)and Mubeen Bhai (aisege)with the surety that they will bear the poor quality of pictures (Koora, the term coined by Rehman Bhai(spitfire). I will request the fellow brothers to take this thread more as informational than pictorial
Tour Background
Kashmir was calling me since long as I went to almost all the other prominent places but Kashmir was somehow missed. I had planned to go till Tao but in August 2012 but due to floods and landslides could not go beyond Kutton. So an unfulfilled burning desire to explore Kashmir was already there. So I planned a visit on 9[SUP]th[/SUP], 10th & 11[SUP]th[/SUP] November as 9[SUP]th[/SUP] November was Iqbal day, took Saturday leave and Sunday was again holiday.
Now a big task ahead was whom to company with. First I asked my home minister to join but she said, Abhi August may to ho kar aay hay, dosra bachon ki parhaee chal rahe hay. Then I floated the idea to Nauman Bhai but no success and got the remarks ? Bhai ghar say niklwao *** kia ( Nauman Bhai Advance Mazrat). Then waited for Pakwheels friends as after Soan valley new trip was being cooked and perhaps its still under process . Then I called my old friends Naseem & Safder with whom I made many trips in the past like Gilgit ,Hunza , Kalam , Mahudand ,Kaghan ,Naran , Fairy meadows track , Maidan Shah track , Saiful Malook track .They agreed & plan was finalized
