Welcome to Day 6

It was raining again in the morning so our breakfast got delayed a bit.

Once rain stopped, we finished our breakfast and quickly started the wrap-up so that we can take the luggage to the jeeps before rain starts again.

We had few group shots with people of Riat Village near the jeeps and finally left the wonderful place at 11 a.m.

It was again a beautiful ride back to Astore and took around 3.5 hrs

We had a wonderful lunch at Madina Green Palace Hotel and took 4 rooms there.

There were no major plans for rest of the day and we spent most of the time in hotel.

Night stay in Madina Green Palace Hotel in Astore.
