Dear Fellow Members,
I recently did another wonderful trip to Gilgit-Baltistan (5th to 14th September 2017) with my wife;
5th Sep = Sialkot to Muzaffarabad (night stay in Muzaffarabad)
6th Sep = Muzaffarabad to Naran (night stay in Naran)
7th Sep = Naran to Gilgit (night stay in Gilgit)
8th Sep = Gilgit to Hunza (night stay in Hunza)
9th Sep = Hunza to Khunjerab to Gilgit (night stay in Gilgit)
10th Sep = Gilgit to Skardu (2 nights stay in Skardu)
12th Sep = Skardu to Gilgit (night stay in Gilgit)
13th Sep = Gilgit to Balakot (night stay in Balakot)
14th Sep = Balakot to Sialkot
Little info about Roads conditions
Road all the way up to Khunjerab Top is very good except little bad patch from murree express way to kohala. There were a lot of land slidings after descending from Babusar pass going to Chilas. Road was cleared though. Then small 1-2 bad patches (like 50 to 100 meters) in between chilas to raikot bridge.
