awesome camerawork mate, just one question though, is Ratti Galli trek difficult and tougher then Chitta khatta trek?

[farooq05]

hope you are keeping well! pictures are simply great and information is outstanding!

do you have any idea to how would be the weather in Neelum if we plan from 18th to 23rd Nov? I understand it must be cold but just wondering it would be bearable and roads will be open or not? thanks.

Thx a lot bro

Aap Dec mei bhi visit kar saktey hien. Muzaffarabad tak puhunchney mei koi issue nahi hai. Phir agey Neelum valley mei rasta normally Athmuqam tak khula rehta hai. Us sey agey Sharda tak snowfall pe depend karta hai laikin Sharda jaya ja sakta hai agar rasta khula mil jaey. Laikin Kel, Shounter valley aur Taobutt nahi jaya ja sakta.

Leepa valley is same story. Reshian Top aur Daokhan Top par snow ho gi aur aap cross nahi kar saktey.

Agar greenery dekhni hai to phir July Aug mei jaein 2013 mei.

Many thx bro

Both treks have different killing instincts

Ratti Gali - A boxing match of 11 rounds and u will keep on getting punched for 3 days hehe

Chitta Katha - A 2nd round knockout hard punch

Ratti Gali needs stamina both physical and mental as trek is long (38km return) and is all the time climbing up. No open valleys so have to trek on slopes throughout which needs concentration all the time.

We did it in 3 days = 12km + 14km + 12km so everyday is tough and long. Start early at sunrise from Dowarian as this area is relatively hot unless u get lucky with cloud cover.

Chitta Katha is more steep climb but distance is half (18-19km return). Start of trek is very tough and then Dak1 is flat for some time. A little climb to dak 2 (easy if no glaciers) and again some flat area. Then the final steep climb to the lake. But this steepness is equally tough to come down.

Weather will be cold and snow on tops. Snowfall in valley depends on the weather. Try your luck and see how far u can reach. Sharda should be accessible in end November.

Dowarian bridge from tourist lodge area

Just after crossing this bridge, A mighty, gigantic steep climb is waiting for the travelers to go through Neelum Valley. It is one of the major problem for visitors to leave their rides at Keran but it is ok for 4 by 4.
