Welcome to Balakot

[asifcae]

Asif bhai, Reshian road is worse than my June visit on Santro.

But still it is manageable on cars till Reshian.

Us ke baad pure jeep track hai Reshian Top ya Daokhan Top side par. So, park the car at army checkpost in Reshian aur waha se jeep hire kar lien ya 'per seat' basis par jeep par travel kar lien.

Eidt: One more thing ... there is a new hotel in Daokhan which has 5 rooms. Cars can go till that point as well. That is only reasonable place to stay in whole Leepa area otherwise u can camp anywhere.

There is no concept of commercial hotels in Leepa. People will literally compete with each other to take u to their homes and offer food and residence. That is the culture in Leepa they take the tourists as guests

thnakx alot sir ji

i will try to reach that hotel in my car

After reaching Balakot, we did breakfast, met Qari sahib and put the luggage in the jeep.

Now started the boring wait for Shah ji of around 3 hours as 1 hour had already passed in above things.

So, we started to roam around in Balakot
