Around usur time, I reached Besham and decided to try reaching Mansehra for night stay.

[Wanderlust]

Reached Thakot. Sun was about to set but I was determined to try reaching Mansehra

[Wanderlust]

It was pitch dark after Butgram......kept on driving and at last reached Mansehra.....

Ehhhh! still traffic jam on Mansehra bypass at 8:45pm.....I changed my plan again for night stay and finally decided to land in Abbottabad.

Journey continued!

[Wanderlust]

And finally I reached Abbottabad. There were many people eating at this open air restaurant and I decided to have dinner before settling down in a hotel.

Had delicious dinner.....barbecue chicken and seekh kabab, with I think one lit of water.....to neutralize "hooshki" of dry KKH that I had left behind.

A very welcome addition this time on KKH was these informative boards that have increased the beauty of the highway many times. There are several such boards now where ever there is something of significance for tourists.

Allah....please save these boards from urs sharif, maelaad sharif, hidmut Sharif and tubdeelee sharif.

Ahh this is a must visit place The Indian Plate collision with the Eurasian Plate.... Lovely trip MashaALLAH. your last trip was equally wonderful as well (y)

Thank you Abdullah for being with me all along on this thread.

On a related note, I have decided to upgrade my point and shoot cameras. But as I had said, I can't carry DSLRs. My next choice is compact system camera with inter changeable lens. Already ordered, let's see when I will have my hands on the compact camera.

And finally I reached Abbottabad. There were many people eating at this open air restaurant and I decided to have dinner before settling down in a hotel.

Had delicious dinner.....barbecue chicken and seekh kabab, with I think one lit of water.....to neutralize "hooshki" of dry KKH that I had left behind.

Next day I was up late, as there was nothing to do except the final dash to reach back home.

When you are driving long stretches on KKH........stretch between Abbotabad Lahore seems like a piece of cake. So in a relaxed mood, I had breakfast and then went to service station. Car has to be clean as it is going back to concrete jungle.

My lovely basanti after taking a shampoo.

And this is the end of my travelogue.

Thank you friends for your interest that motivated me to complete it despite my busy schedule.

And please don't mind raw style of writing as i completed the entire thread on my tab whenever i had sometime to write.

Salman bhai, the fact is at times you like it and sometimes you don't. Particularly you don't like when sun is on your top.

[Wanderlust]
