Just before entering to Muzaffarabad

And friends, we finally reached at our starting point of journey. Before this point, we think, we just travelled to reach here.

Heading towards Pattika which will come after 19km from MFD.

Another nice one

Found this scene before Dhani waterfall. Actually we travelled a littile bit slow with the fear, not to miss Dhanni Waterfall which was actually 19 km after Pattika.

keep sharing the snaps...

did u find the cave in kishan ghati????

emmaar (emmaar) 2012-07-25 06:39:59 +0500 #46

Finally we got it. It had very low level of water falling at that time. One beautiful thing about neelum valley is that beauty level increase from better to best with the passage towards end point. If we have to start from end then may our mind not to accept this reality.

Azam did try to catch the water far from it and I think he succeeded too.

We can say"Khayalaat ki bulandi"

No yaar, we couldn't do that due to certain factors but tried our level best. We descended whole the way from Kishan ghatti.Crossed the nalla two times, one time from bridge and then down the line again. much steep climbing after nalla, but at the end it was just hiking and we were unable to find a place to foot upon it. And the most valid reason to withdraw it is our so called guide. We felt, he even haven't any proper information about the right place. Will do in some other time with proper information.

Just after Dhanni, a beautiful place.

Crossed Nosada bridge to travel along other side of river

A long bad patch about 4 to five km was in our way. It is also an area of land sliding. In our way back within this area, land sliding was in progress, so, we quickly cleared our way by our own and crossed that patch as quickly as possible.

Construction work was in full swing near this place

Azam & Safeer were happy after crossing the Nosada bad patch
