Left side river is formed with streams of Izmis and Kundol while right side river is coming from Gabral.

Near Laddu view point

Between the two mountains in the background is another lake called Laddu Lake or Spin Khwar Lake.

Jeep track is approaching Laddu village on other side of Kundol stream as now we were quite near to our major stop of the day which is opposite to Laddu village

Reached the place opposite to Laddu and took some rest.

It's been 3 hours since we started the trek. Had the bridge been in good shape we could have reached this point in 30 min.

This guy Shareef was very helpful throughout the trek and also during night camp when everyone was almost dead

But we quickly resumed the trek.

It was a short hill to climb at start and then trek gradually ascended while passing through the fields and forest.

A beauty on the way

Now you can see Laddu village cultivation on other side of stream.

Jeeps used to come till this location and then 2-3 hours trek till the lake but now we will spend another 5 hours to reach Kundol from this point

Kundol Lake is between right side and middle mountain while Spin Khwar Lake is between middle and left side flat mountain
