while moving ahead , we trekked till Sharda University.... after witnessing School and an Intermediate College in Sharda , we were expecting a Giant University even if it is ancient....... but we after going through 63 stairs,(told by locals, we dint count) what we saw was some thing like chaar-minaar , that was not match-able with the name but still the structure was impressive enough .......

its History ,

and the main structure of Sharda University ,

While moving down from Sharda University... we headed opposite towards a uturn and found a chota sa waterfall, where we had much fun and some daring shots...

@shaddy890 mere doost.... if i m not wrong , that is the same place from where you mistakenly drink water but luckily we just kept it to washing faces...

then we started our return journey towards our hotel room... on the way back , witnessed an interesting routine and happenings ... the famous Sharda Mosque has a School just connected to it ...

the interesting part was to see school kids were studying in the ground here and there in School open area and under the shadow of Masjid .... we stood there for a while to witness that innocent and pure learning .........

Entrance of Masjid and the ground where madarsay ke bachay play cricke with Imam saheb in the evening, nice experience to see that match ...

and the Front view of Masjid but no entrance as it is School Ground , Kids are studying where they want to sit,

on the way back , we had phir se thora sa naashta , met with couple of local drivers and guide .. had market research of the fare because the time came when we had to decide whether to continue with local transportation or hire a personalized vehicle .......

after several failed discussion , when we got disappointed coz the asking rate of vehicles were high in comparison with our planned and expected rates.... we were going back to hotel with the utray hoe moun then alhumdulillah one guy came khud se and asked our plan... initially plan was to visit Taubatt first with a night stay and second day was set for Arang kel .. aur shaam mai sharda waapis coz we had to stay in Keran also...... magar wo kehte hain na k Allah is the Best planner aur wo jo kerta hai acha kerta hai..... (complete story in upcoming posts)

So the nice driver named Abdul Hameed offered 11 K for this two day plan and we said Yeessssss...

Sharda pe aik nazar .... jatay hoe

Day 4 , continues

ab gaari aur kaahani aagay barhatay hain......

Initially we planned to go Kel and Arang Kel first than to Taubatt, but Driver Hameed bhai suggested to go directly to Taubatt and visit Kel - Arang Kel on return journey..... so we agreed on 5 hour hourney from Shaarda to Taubatt.... as it is the max of AJK where civilians are allowed , correct me if i m wrong .

Had some snacks shopping from Sharda for the long journey... and what a majestic beauty we witnessed on the way alhumdulillah , scenes can not be told really ...

suhana safar, hoa shuru...
