Hi Asif bhai, how are you janab?
Patlian Lake ka jeep track around 3 to 3.5 hours hai agr Keran se start krain tu. Lake is on trekking of less than 30 minutes from last jeepable spot lakin ye bat kitni sach hai I don't know exactly kiu k it was hell of snow in July aur jeep bohat pehle hi ruk gai thi. It took around 4 hours to reach lake from that point aur wapsi pr sham ho gai aur Patliyan gaaon mai rat guzarni pri with locals. I took a short cut bilkul end mai ja kr which was bit dangerous because last year a guy lost his life there. Short cut lene k liay jeep track chorna prta hai is liay I didn't see the last jeepable spot and reached lake from other side.
Wese army is working one a whole network of jeep tracks in Neelum valley. I reached Baboon top from Nagdar/Keran side and was amazed to see guys reaching there from Jagran side. So Nagdar and Jagran are connected on Baboon Top.
In the same way locals told that jeep track to Patliyan lake is almost connected to Rattai Gali from other side. God knows better mai ne khud tu nai dekha is side se ratti gali ja kr lakin looks like k aisa agr abhi nahi bhi hai tu next year tk ho jay ga. Agr is saal record berf na pri hoti tu ratti gali idher se hi jaane ka program tha.
Acha by the way the whole valley is very beautiful specially the upper part including Patliyan village, this valley is quite similar to Shountar valley, green and full of forests at start and wild rocky and snowy on top. There is a bowl shaped meadow near Patliyan village where you will see many water falls all around. I will try to create a detailed thread with all the info and pictures.
