Heading to Shandur from Mastuj (kind of scary track). From Boni till shandur down, the road is same like shown in video. Few meters ahead after finishing this video, we slipped due to a dog came in front of us suddenly from the bushes.

This is when we got dusk on the way to shandur and my motobike headlight was not working well , steep road and slow speed. It was scary road that time because no one else was around there. Then we saw light of something. It was a truck. Sher Zaman Khan, truck driver stopped and asked us to drive ahead in my truck light till shandur checkpost. It was 1.5kilometer far from that point. So i requested him to keep my bag on your truck and asked my wife to sit on the empty back side of truck so i could drive a bit fast. Then she recorded this video.

A beautiful point to spend time after a few miles ahead from shandur towards gilgit. Blue water, green ground and blue sky. What a combination Allah Miyan!

heading to Khunjerab Top. A must visit place. amazing panoramic view of snow covered mountains on the top. Man, it was damn slow due to weak clutch plates and steep road.

Long dark tunnel experience. It was like i am a blind person. I stopped bike and thought what would happened next, how can i get out of this tunnel. I moved a few steps ahead and saw a dot of light and after moving more forward it was amazing to see mountains suddenly after the dark tunnel.

Walking towards Rama Lake. It is the track of around 2 kilometers from PTDC MOTEL RAMA till Rama lake and a more steep and no road. Our bike wasn't able to take us till lake so we decided to lock it here and walk. If you notice a bridge in the video when camera roll to the back side. There we parked our bike.

These are the few and last steep turns before sheosar lake. It does not seems steep road but may be high altitude was making problem to generate enough power to climb with us on that part. So I requested to my better half to walk to cross this part.

Sheosar lake, Deosai. A breathtaking view. Sooo beautiful. Grass layer on this side was soft because water runs underneath it thats why we were walking on stones.
