5 Friends, a Car and a thousand Selfies: Story of An Epic Road Trip

[usmanshafqat]

Comparatively khunjerab pass ki charhayi ziada asaan thi babusar pass say.
Finally got the first glimpse of Khunjerab border.
the dream had come true; Lahore to khunjerab-a road trip.

dear do you have some pic of newly built attabad tunnel . there are many fack pic i saw on net which confuse me.
.
.

We reached attabad tunnel at 11:15pm and came to know that it is closed and will open in 15minutes. they told us that as work for ventilation is still under process, the tunnel opens from 11:30 am to 1pm and 7pm to 6am. We had already planned that we will not use the tunnel while going to khunjerab, we wanted to experience the boat ride along with our car.
it was a big risk, but jb tk risk na ho maza he kahan ata hai
Lo jee faer assi gaddi nu lake di janib mor ditta and what we saw did not look real, it seemed as if we were seeing an edited image with life in it.
This is what awaited us

@usmanshafqat : It would have been a blunder to miss such a marvelous thread filled with exotic pictures. I wounder how did I missed it... :/?

Such beautiful presentation always happens, when a right tool comes in right hands with equally justified eye for beauty and perfection.

This is the second most beautiful pictorial thread I have gone through after S. M. Bukhari's. It encourages you to set aside all the materialistic things and just live a natural life with thanking the creator for his blessings.

O bhai! Aieda zulm ghareeban naal...

The descend towards Chilas side.
It's a very steep and long descend. Though we mostly used engine braking and avoided using the brakes more often then not. by the time we reached down our brake discs were emitting quite alot of heat and burning smell.

Thankyou shehzad bhai
Forts ki entry tickets thein, 200 per head for baltit and 250 per hear for altit.
guide ki services ticket mei included thein. matlb tickets were for the guided tour.
eagle's nest pay rates fixed tou nahi thay, but bohat mushkil say kam karwaye thay. we paid 3k per room. waisay 3500 mang rahay thay with 2 complimentary breakfasts per room. uncle say kaaaafi guppain maarnay k baad unko raazi kiya k 3k per room aur 2 rooms k sath 5 complimentary breakfasts
Boat walay k ya tou 1,200 diya tha ya phir 1,500. exactly yaad nahi hai.

Bro i didn't take any picture of the tunnel.
there are a number of tunnels, i guess 4 or 5. one of them is quite long.
and yes there are fake pictures of some foreign brigde over the water, it's not attabad tunnel. attabad wali bridge is like the one you can see in this picture. it's like, tunnel, open space, tuneel, open space, tunnel again and so on.
