We started our journey for Taobat at 14:00 and after about 4 hour travelling reached at Taobat at 18:00
Machal a fairly large village in the way.

This picture can shows the intensity and power of a SLIDING which frequently occurred in March/may in every year. It is not a heap of grass but a stock of very huge trees seems like grass leaves!!!

Just before Taobat we have to travell in the Neelum which most of the Jeep drivers do.
Our jeep is swimming in River Neelum just before Taobat.

We can say, it is the first Glimpse of TAOBAT Village. So at last we have reached Taobat
