Yes Raheel Bhai, I've seen the pictures in your thread. Water level was amazing at that time but not in our time.

There is always more snow on mountains in the start of summer therefore, water level always high in the start of summer as in the case of Raheel Bhai visit of Dhanni water fall.

Lawat is about 5 km from Keran. LOC which starts from Athmuqam ends here. A small half dried nala is a LOC here. At his point a mighty nala joins the river neelm and seems a great battle between the twos. We can see the wilderness of neelum in coming pictures.

Mighty Nalla is coming down and will presenting a discussed war with the mighty Neelum.

Too much noise at milan point of the Brown Water of Nalla and Green water of Neelum

We can't say a normal mood of nalla.

A more closer look

Lawat Village: A view from same point of our standings

This Nala is a LOC. In right is Occupide Kashmir(Lawat) and in Left Is Azad Kashmir(Lawat)

Some where between Lawat and Dowarian.

[emmaar]

Dowarian is about 8km from Lawat. Trek to ratti gali lake also goes from here.
At Dowarian, we have to face a steep asending with a lot of slippery stones embeded in it. We done(Me and Safeer) it very easily on foot but Azam who did try it along with ride was not happy to do that. We couldn't get its picture as our main focus was on to just cross it aeap.This scene was just after that moment.

Another but similar view

Here we took a cup of tea and got the information for incoming chanlleges.

Starting point to try the first Nullah after Dowarian and crossed it successfully. Here is also a steep slop at the end too.

Countless nalas and waterfalls in this region. Across the river

...and across the road

Neelum seems somewhat calm here

Captured during driving

Another nulla but an easy one

[emmaar]

Dhudnial is another 8km from Dowarian and have more appeal to everyone by its more fascinating colorful huts. It is situated on the other side of river and if anyone wanna visit it then a wooden bridge is available there to cross and see the beauty of Dhudnial

some more colors

A quick turn by Neelum

Another beautiful one

Nala joining with Neelum

Bro There are 2 un explored lakes Mai narda and secend is Mai Sharda.Sharda and narda are two hindu sisters and these two lakes associates with them(Dnt know about authenticity of this ) and Local claiming these lakes are bigger then Ratti Galli Lake(Bakarwals Yahan summer me jate hain apne Janwar le ker)
Source :Locals (Darogh Bagardan Locals:) )

well i am known to the way to mai narda lake,, couldnt reach there, and it is also one of many places where i will be some day...

yes, there is a long story of mai narda and mai sharda,,, and we got two peaks of named mai narda and mai sharda, and two lakes named mai narda and mai sharda,,,, i think may be 5% of the legend is actually truth......

and i am also copying GEMINI i.e. Darogh bagardan LOCALS....

[emmaar]

Just after Dhudnial.Electricity from water is being produced along with to give nature a real beautiful scene.

A real challange for everyone to cross it. Starting point of this nulla. It is about 3km before Sharda.

Indeed to cross it not a real challenge. The real challenge is to cross it safe and sound.

End point of this nullah

[emmaar]

Yes it was the first look of real Sharda for us. Color ful Sharda.

[emmaar]

well i am known to the way to mai narda lake,, couldnt reach there, and it is also one of many places where i will be some day...

It means Narda Lake is persists and if it persists then u can definitely go to there.<label for="rb_iconid_14"></label>. We haven't any doubt upon ur knowlefge bro.
Stories about peaks are more familiar than the stories about lakes.
