It is mostly jeep track and u can go upto Muhammad Das on Kala pani side. Riat Village is almost one hour before Muhammad Das which is last jeepable point and is around 4-5 hrs drive from Astore.

One of the most peaceful places, people are very nice and very few tourists go in this area.

It has been a very memorable and adventurous journey for 2013 and we discovered a pure beauty in shape of Riat Valley and lakes.

I am really thankful to all the members and visitors who had been watching this thread with lots of patience as there were long breaks

The plans are already in place for 2014 In Sha Allah and if all goes well then the team will be coming back with something quite special this year

So, keep exploring and sharing the natural beauty of Pakistan.

Regards

Mobeen
