Hi Wheelers, this time a quick trip to lahore to kumrat in 36 hours non stop action,
initially at 12th September we had plan with Nafees bhai HATT biker and traveler and Mohsin (friend) to go to kalash, chitral and phander on bike but unfortunately on 8th muharam at 29th September to onward due to some circumstances we are unable to go to trip, because i didn't get leaves approved because of job projects and concerns and mohsin's father wasn't well and hospitalized, on Sat suddenly i ask mohsin to go to mirpur kashmir which is not very far from lahore and make a one day trip and camping at ramkot fort, i called my friend in mirpur to arrange bbq, so we decided to go on sat night at 8 pm, we dropped one of our friend at Kalla shah Kaku and took motorway while suddenly one of my friend(driver) said calculate how far Dir is, and i got flesh in my mind loo g hun gae Dir ... we calculated it almost 16 Hour journey from lahore to kumrat. and we have only 36 hours because i will appear in office on monday in any case but my friend insist to go to kumrat and i will surely drive without any rest, he also got 2 more votes from my 2 friends as we were 4 friends and i also labaik on his call to go to kumrat as kumrat is also in my wish list since 2009-10.. so plan have been changed from ramkot fort to kumrat and we started our journey at 9PM from lahore motorway to kumrat Valley.
