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

[aks_e_ahmed]

We reached Naran at 10am. Naran which was not looking appealing at all at the start of autumn, naran which was all deserted, naran which was all dirty (thanks to our tourists).
So as soon as we reached Naran, i called @xoofi dada, who was on his way back from a successful project K2K (Karachi to Khunjerab) on bike. So we had a short GTG in naran.
Our initial plan was to spend the night at naran. but as we were still feeling fresh and we had the whole day ahead of us, after consulting with sufian we decided to go to hunza directly. lhr to hunza in one leg.

Well done both

Shehzad bhai, you are not in control of the speed while going down towards chilas, no need to put your foot on the accelerator. Just keep the car in low gears, and let it slide down. at times our RPM was touching 5000 in the second gear, but just make sure you use less brakes.
Na na kartay bhi hamari brake discs heat up ho gayi thein, if we hadn't used engine breaking then heated discs could have been a big problem and risky too,

Bro can you explain it please noob in driving

Bhai saada alfaaz mei, Babusar say chilas jatay huay, recommended ye hai k accelerator use na karain. gari ko chotay gear mei rakhain, jb aap chotay gear mei rakhaein *** aur accelerator use nahi karain *** tou bhi gari khud he speed pakray gi because of the steep slope. 2nd gear mei gari khud bakhud, beghair accelerator k 70 tk ki speed pay jayegi, engine pay zor zarur paray ga but kyun k engine khud gari ko hold back kr raha hoga (because of a lower gear) tou apki brakes kam use hongi. iss concept ko engine braking kehtay hain. jahan zarurat paray wahan brake zarur use karain, but kam say kam.
Agar utaryi mei aap bara gear laga dein like 4th gear tou gari tou khud he 100 plus pay chali jaegi, thus you'll have to use brakes more often. brakes ziada use karnay say discs heat up ho jati hain and ahista ahista less effective ho jati hain which you don't want while going down a sleep slope

This is what happens when you try to pose too much and turn your back towards the camera, and especially when you've got friends who are always ready to ruin pictures
