@ayanriaz

I still couldnt visited Punjpeer even. Just visited by the eyes of you people (PW).(Virtual tour).

But I have gathered so much information.

Thank you for comments about me. I appriciate your efforts for uploading information and pics for me-like people (Thirsty for views/mountains) and newbies who will visit there after seeing these threads.

Thanks

NAR VILLAGE

MY FRIEND WITH MY SON

ME AND MY SON

CROSSING NAR AND MOVING TOWARDS OUR FINAL DESTINATION PUNJ PEER. FROM HERE ONWARDS STARTS JEEP TRACK. IF YOU CAN ZOOM THIS PIC YOU WILL FIND A SMALL WOODEN BRIDGE (AN OLD RUOTE) TO CROSS THIS NALA

THIS TRACK LEAD TO FOREST REST HOUSE WHICH IS APPROX 1.5 KM FROM THIS PLACE. CAME BACK AND TOOK ANOTHER TRACK BY FOOT COZ IT NEEDED MORE POWERFUL OFF ROAD MACHINE.

THIS IS THE TRACT FROM LATHRAR - DANOI

[imarshad]

first is when you take left turn from Punjar towards nar you will find forest rest house approx 2-3 km ahead and finally you will find forst rest house at Punj peer

NOW YOU CAN VIEW PUNJ PEER TOP FRON THIS VILLAGE

FINALLY REACHED PUNJ PEER TOP

AN INTERESTING THING VIEWED AT THIS PLACE IS THAT THERE IS NO SHRINE AT THE TOP.

YOU CAN SEE A "CHABUTRA" APPROX 5X6 FT AND NEXT TO IT IS A MOSQUE. NO GRAVE OF PUNJ PEER.....???????????????????????????????

SO WE WERE ANXIOUS TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE PLACE AND FOR THAT WE CONTACTED ANOTHER GROUP OF "ZAIREEN" WHO CAME FROM LEHTRAR.....

I WILL TELL YOU THE MYTH ABOUT THIS PLACE IN MY UP COMMING POSTING

MANGLA DAM IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THESE MOUNTAIN AS SHOWN BELOW

Very nice and informative thread. TFS.

I hiked these areas quite extensively in the late 80s. There were many more trees then compared to now, but the area retains its beauty reasonably well still.

[malik593]

at what altitude is this place?

[Niazi11]

Nice trip. Do jeeps go all the way to the top.

Dear Chang. thank you for liking the thread.
infact i use to be a silent viewer of PW and after seeing 2 threads posted on the same area and seeing the pics, i decided to visit this place.

initially i went through lehtrar road till danoi and from there i got to know that the jeep track is no more there due to last year heavy reains and land slide.

i also got to know from danoi that the route from kahota is open so i decided to visit through kahota.

as per my experience, this place is not known to most of the people that the reason that you will find peace and natural beauty as it is.

moreover the people of this area (Nar - Punj Peer) are very hospitable.

[Ayanriaz]

at what altitude is this place?

Dear Malik
as per local people the altitude of Punj Peer is close to Muree as snow falls in winter. unfortunately i didnt had GPRS to check the exact altitude.

Dear Niazi
thank you for liking the thread.

You can use a normal car with good road clearance till base of Punj Peer. the last track of approx 1.5 km is pure jeep track with good experience of off roading as the way is a bit narrow and tricky. this track will lead you to foret rest house which is under control of army.
there you can park your jeep and track for 10 min to punj peer.

we had suzuki jimny model 2010 with us. crossed various obsticles but the last one was a bit tricky. from there we returned back and used another track and reached the top by foot, as i didnt want to take risk coz we didnt had any backup vehicle in case of breakdown.

DEAR ASIF
First of all thank you for your comments. secondly, jimny is my officially allocated jeep and cannot sell:(.

as far as its performance is concerned, with 1300cc engine its performance on climbing hills and mountains in normal conditions is excellent as you can feel 1300cc power in a compact body.

moreover, you can also feel comfortable with its 4x4 capabilities as an above average off roading machine(not extereme off roading)

as a family car, if you have small family like couple and kids not above age of 10-12 years it is ok.

i hope all your answers are addressed. i you would like to know more, you are wellcome.
