And then just before some distance from Shogran and naran diversion, short stay planned again as the luggage of other bike got opened so it has to fixed and fastened again. We took 2 half liter cold drinks, 2 chittos (for kid) 170Rs. Meanwhile after turning towards naran, when the river started flowing with the road, the luggage of other bike again got opened, so it has to be fastened again, there was actually problem with its carrier locks, anyways My wife , kid and I found such delays best for photography. On the other part, I do worried for getting late according to our plan. To cut short we reached finally Naran at 5:00pm. We had already planned to spend night in camps so rather than to enter in Naran, we found some good place for camping. The guy asked to take 100 rupees for setting camp at his area as he has his iron tents
over there. So we decided to take one iron tent and one camp of our own as we planned to go Lake saiful Maluk and that iron tent was best to keep all luggage safe with lock. He charged 600 rupees for that. It was evening and few people stopped not to go Lake Saiful Maluk on bike as the road was extremely bad, so we did not take risk especially due to my kid and wife as it would definitely be dark on return. So we hired a jeep, the guy got agreed in 2000. The same tent guy arranged that and we locked our luggage in iron tent, locked our bike too and moved Lake Saiful Maluk. The road was really bad in shape, stones, mud, bumpy trek. We reached Lake Saiful Maluk and It was not good for me to see Lake Saiful Maluk in that way, like so many tent hotels, washroom cabins, rush of people, jeeps etc. as I had already visited the lake in some good time in past. We took some pakooras and cold drinks, juices at Lake Saiful Maluk and the was enough food for today, had some photography and then on return the lake was almost empty at it was started getting dark. Some guys were looking for jeep there as they came at lake by giving 200 rupees each, they were in group and from Faisalabad. So our jeep was empty and they requested us and asked to drop us otherwise they have to trek down on foot and they also told to pay for that. We agreed and told whatever they want to pay, it will be okay, so we reached Naran and they paid 600 Rupees. It was dark, brought milk pack for kid for his feeder at night
, mineral water bottle 175 Rs. I shall try to upload bills too time to time. Other male member of group setup their camp and I entered into iron tent. The iron tent was good having 4 ground beds with blankets, but remember always take one bed sheet with you, so that you could place yours from hygienic point of view. Anyways we went for sleep as tomorrow will be a rough and tough day, as we have to reach Astore while roaming through scenic view of Naran valley.
So that was the total sum up of the story of day 1 voyage. Now time for uploading more pics of day 1.
