Are you using Helicopter for this trip?>

[Mohd.Waqas]

Are you using Helicopter for this trip?>

Rana sb. need your valuable comments btw my helicopter is cultus

Never been to Kotli, Hajira, Mehmood Gali. So no comments.

Toli pir is near to banjosa, from banjosa go to tolipir then on way back travel hajeera, mehmood gali side. Night stay of day-2 can be Mehmood Gali or Lass Danna.

From Lass Danna, you have to Go Bagh, then, Rawlakot. then tolipir. A long way.

Also your plan seems somewhat hasty.

Amir bhai three questions ?

1. Agur hum hajeera sham ko pohnchtey hain tu easily night stay ke ley achi juga mill jaye gi ya humein koi advance booking kerwana ho gi ----- same for ghorimar too (incase we require advance booking, I am sure you will have some contacts to provide :D)

2. Dress code in mid-April

3. A very important what will be the estimate total trip cost & what do you think, how many Cultus petrol tanks will be require for this trip.

Hajeera is a bigger town and you will find a local hotel to stay easily.0321503938 & 05824920123 are two numbers for Ghorimar Rest house amid toolipir via khai gala.
Keep warm stuff handy and check weather forecast at Weather for Local and International Locations - AccuWeather.com on your departure date.
Liana as 1300 cc takes half tank in 250 kms on these roads,now try maths for cultus 1000 cc.
