Currently there is no plan but fortunately there is a lot time.
We can gather up people and be on our way.
But if you have working Saturday, you won't be able to join as you will need to take Monday off as-well and if you take Saturday off, as per sandwich rule, you will be taking 3 days off.

Currently I am assuming we will reach Shinkiari by early morning on Saturday.
Reach the Summit of MKM and back to Naran by Monday night.

Then attempt Ansoo Lake on Tuesday (Independence Day).
And overnight travel to back home.

Best of Luck xyan bhai , mera khud ka sep ka plan hai agar nahi hota to kuch manage kar ke apko join karleta after all it will be a great opportunity to do a trek with a senior guy who know trekking very well

Dear @rehankillbill I am not a senior guy yar... I have never done any trekking for even two days.
I think you are from Karachi, and If someone is coming from Karachi, this trip would be very short for them as they have to travel a lot already.

What are your plans for September?

Right but I can avail half day on Saturday. Still I wont be able to catch you as you have plans of submitting MKM and ansoo lake BOTH in these 4 days. I will either go for MKM or Ansoo lake in 3 and half days with regular stops of camping and cooking etc

axiss.rayil (xyan.ryil) 2018-06-01 14:25:12 +0500 #14

Ansoo Lake is one day trek. If you leave by Saturday night, you can trek on Sunday and come back and go to work on Monday

madcap 2018-06-01 14:32:49 +0500 #15

I didnt know that and what about MKM?

axiss.rayil (xyan.ryil) 2018-06-01 14:34:57 +0500 #16

MKM is a 3 day task. Some can do it in two days and then there are people who have done it in one day.

madcap 2018-06-01 14:41:26 +0500 #17

So I should plan it on 3 days as I will have newbies with me on this trek. What do you suggest?

axiss.rayil (xyan.ryil) 2018-06-01 14:42:47 +0500 #18

You know you can always plan for the longest and during the trek if you feel like it, you can cover more distance and change it.

Engaging @asifcae bhai who can give you the best advice.

axiss.rayil (xyan.ryil) 2018-06-01 14:44:08 +0500 #19

Planning is iterative process, You change and update the plan depending on capabilities, weather and other factors.

rehankillbill 2018-06-02 08:30:24 +0500 #20

As far I know you have more experience than me in travelling and atleast u done more trek than me again is hesaab se u become senior haha.

I'm planning to go Astore-Rama-Deosai-Skardu this year on Bakra Eid.

axiss.rayil (xyan.ryil) 2018-06-02 09:15:20 +0500 #21

Very nice, But why don't you include Minimerg in the plan.?

rehankillbill 2018-06-02 11:41:42 +0500 #22

I would love to add Minimerg but without Army recommendation u cant enter this area coz its close to Kargil thats why

axiss.rayil (xyan.ryil) 2018-06-02 12:27:53 +0500 #23

Yes but I don't think it's hard, You only need to inform them in advance.

rehankillbill 2018-06-02 13:44:26 +0500 #24

I heard that any friend or family member can recommend Major or Colonel level otherwise locals are not allowed even I read few thread as well they got permission but from their friend or any relative belongs to army so I don't think they will give permission to anyone ...

axiss.rayil (xyan.ryil) 2018-06-02 15:37:31 +0500 #25

No harm in trying...

rehankillbill 2018-06-04 08:51:41 +0500 #26

Yes you're right I'll try I've a friend in army he is Captain may be he can help to go through over there ...

axiss.rayil (xyan.ryil) 2018-06-04 09:25:54 +0500 #27

hahahhaha
waise ye bhi ajeeb cheez hai , theek kehte hain
