I think we have to conclude the Sunrise on this shot:)

How the village is look like....The answer was to pay some hike to see what it looks like;)

[emmaar]

So, we will go for a small hike on the mountain which is situated Just behind the Rest house

[emmaar]

Almost out of the village now

[emmaar]

A very rough Stone Terrain

[emmaar]

Then an inclination of about 60 to 70degree

Every turn with same inclination:(

Thanks Arsal Bhai.
Happy to read that you have a plan to visit Soon Valley. It will be more enjoyable if you can add Daip Shrif or Kenhatti Garden in your trip. As both of the places can easily be tag into your mentioned route.
Sakesar top is under control of PAF so, needs permission from PAF. Any connection in PAF may works for the permission but a group of 10people will be difficult for an approval.
No need of any approval for Uchali, Khabaiki or rest of the Soon Valley.
I think you have to stay first night at Kalar Kahar as your 2nd day is also a big Day and you have to start very early on that day.
Waiting for you tour shots:)
