so best option would be to, Isb to Naran, night stay in Naran and then next morning Naran to Hunza correct?

yes this is absolutely viable option...because you are human being.. you need some rest....

One most important move for your journey Don't use general GT road rout I.e Hasanabdal, Haripur and Abbotabad due to heavy rush and traffic jam after 8 am
You may go through nathia gali abbotabad mansehra before 8 am
Or murree muzaferabad gari hanibullah and Balakot direct

Hey Ali,

I have made the below itinerary and I think this would be perfect. Any further recommendations would be appreciated though. Sorry this is 1st time Im going so too many questions

DAY 1. (ISB- Naran is almost 750Km) night rest in Naran
Day 2. Leave for Hunza early morning Visit Naltar valley and then night stay in Hunza.
Day 3. Visit Altit and Baltit fort, Eagles Nest and rakaposhi view point and Night stay in same hotel.
Day 4. Leave for Khunjrab early morning, visit attabad lake on the way, come back to Hunza Stay for the night. (I am thinking not to go Gilgit and stay in Hunza since it would already be a long journey to Khunjerab and back)
Day 5. leave for Skardu early morning. Will make it there by evening. Night stay in Skardu.
Day 6. Visit Shangrilla and Kachura lake as well as the cold desert then night stay in Skardu
Day 7. Leave For Deosai early in morning. sadpara lake will come in between. also visit Sheosar Lake in Deosai, make the trip long but worthy to visit rama meadows and view Nanga parbat and back to Skardu and night stay in Skardu.
Day 8. Leave for Shogran/ Naran stay a night.
Day 9. Leave for Islamabad.

I believe this is pretty viabale and also gives us enough rest so that we are not exhausted once we get and have to go to work after 2 days

bro islamabad to naran just 230 km..will take max 7 hours...more than enough

alishankhann (alishankhann) 2017-07-01 16:37:40 +0500 #29

Rakaposshi view point comes on the way from gilgit to hunza..so it can be seen on day 2 while going towards hunza,,,

alishankhann (alishankhann) 2017-07-01 16:41:34 +0500 #30

your wish if you want to stay in hunza its absolutely your decision to take...but it is 200 percent possible to start journey from hunza and come back to gilgit while visiting khunjerab...i myself did it..started journey 8:00am from hunza and came back to gilgit at 07:00 pm sharp...took so many stops while en route....

So you should come back to gilgit while visiting khunjerab,,it would be good for your next stop that is skardu...because it can take upto 7 hours to reach skardu from the point where you leave KKH for skardu...and 1 hour to that point from gilgit...so 8 hours from gilgit to skardu..
and if you add hunza gilgit so add 2.5 more hours...

thanks for that. Yeah we will go from murree to nathiagali to muzaffarabad then naran

pwuser149839278352 (Pakwheels User) 2017-07-01 16:44:00 +0500 #32

yes mistake sorry about that

pwuser149839278352 (Pakwheels User) 2017-07-01 16:45:10 +0500 #33

Oh yes I got that thanks for that, we can see this on our way and make a stop there.

pwuser149839278352 (Pakwheels User) 2017-07-01 16:49:35 +0500 #34

yes, we will decide this at that point in time.

alishankhann (alishankhann) 2017-07-01 16:49:45 +0500 #35

this is dubious..either you have to add another night..or then skip rama....
it can take upto 4 hours to reach sheosar lake from skardu and another 3-4 hours to rama...you have to take photographs,,you have to stop for sometime...either you have to stay for a night in deosai..while on the way back from rama...or book PTDC rama...a perfect place to stay...must atleast once in life..

pwuser149839278352 (Pakwheels User) 2017-07-01 16:50:57 +0500 #36

how much would ptdc rama cost. any idea?

alishankhann (alishankhann) 2017-07-01 16:51:36 +0500 #37

6000 for double room..and you have to book atleast a month before..

pwuser149839278352 (Pakwheels User) 2017-07-01 16:54:35 +0500 #38

In that case I would skip it since adding another day would mess my schedule and also no guarantee of getting a room there.

alishankhann (alishankhann) 2017-07-01 16:56:25 +0500 #39

so then simple...hire a jeep from skardu...visit deosai plains thoroughly and you will reach skardu back in the evening in sha Allah..

pwuser149839278352 (Pakwheels User) 2017-07-01 16:58:57 +0500 #40

got it one last thing. I heard road conditions from gilgit to skardu is not very good. Is it too bad to travel and genuinely dangerous or not so much so since since we have an experienced driver.
