taobat to lahore takes around 20hours of drive if you're very good driver+vehicle combination; how you're going to do taobat+village and Lahore on 25th ???

21st-Wednesday- departure at 9 Pm from Lahore , Bilal Daewoo
night stay at Mirpur.(OK possible)

22-Oct : traveling to Rawalakot : visiting Tatta Pani, Banjosa Lake, koyian, Toli pir,lasdana, poonch river
on the same evening travelling to Muzaffarabad,night stay at Muzaffarabad.(Banjosa, Tolipir, Lasdana, Muzafarabad. These are four destinations and atleast two days are needed for it. Moreover what will be your route to Muzaffarabad? if it is via Bagh then you will cover Chikar/Zalzal lake on the way)

23-Oct : visiting : Red Fort, Shaheed Gali, chikar, zalzal Lake & Pir chinasi
on the same evening traveling to Kundal Shahi, night stay at Kundal Shahi.(Again Chikar, Pir Chinasi and Kundal Shahi are three different destinations and not possible in one day. either you can do one of the spot with Kundal shahi or do it in two days)

24-Oct : visiting : athmuqam, keran (Dhanni waterfall (optional)) sharda, kel, arung kel, janawi , sardari
night stay at halmat(Areng kel and Halmat will become hectic in a single day...atleast for me)

25-Oct : visiting : Tao butt, Gurase village and back to the lahore(very tough day indeed)

Please share your knowledge, if we add some place in it.although we cover many thing in very limited time.

Don't know about rest of itinerary but reconsider staying at mirpur for first night.Staying in mirpur is like staying in Jhelum and you'll still be no where near Muzafarabad.Best to go straight to Muzafarabad or stay in pindi for first night.Btw daewoo doesn't operate to mirpur anymore.

actually we don't waste time,that's why we stayed in mirpur, then on very next day morning we start our trip from mirpur to onward.

we will reach banjosa at 8 am if we will depart 5 o'clock from mirpur,than from banjosa to toli pir it will take around 1 or 1:30 hours,,
so we will visit banjosa lake from 8 to 11 then toli pir , we will b back on 3PM on banjosa ,,then koyian is 5 km form banjosa lake . then from rawalakot to Muzaffarabad it will take around 3 hours,,we just want to stay and spend night on muzaffarabad.
yes i use this trek from Rawalakot to Muzaffarabad (bagh,sudhan gali,ghari dupata)
Muzafarabad to Pir Chinasi takes 1:30 hrs . so we can visit there..if we have time ,otherwise we can skip pir chinasi and move forward to kel
