Very nice illustrative trip...

Kindly tell me following...

1. Ahead Lulusar, just before Giitdas... a big water crossing... Did you find any problem there???

2. What was the period of your visit? I mean dates/month??

3. What about your experience with the Nokia Phone GPS device and maps???

Answers :-
1- No problem in crossing that water channel but luckily there is a small iron bridge placed on that by FWO. but we have checked we can also cross that due to high ground clearance.
2- we left islamabad on 24/09/11 and returned back on 28/09/11.
3-we have only used both nokia phone navigation assisstance and Garmin and quite happy with them although the maps in some areas need a little bit correction.

The track to chilas from top is totally off road and no metal road is available , we have seen few trucks and a NATCO bus coming from the opposite side and have seen the truck wheels spinning on every corner due to steep slope. after the top we were anxiously waiting for a stop for the tea and after almost 3 hour we found a KHOKHAA which served us tea (but we have to give him our own Milk packs as in these areas they have less milk often ). and after the tea we again get fresh and now looking for lunch .......but ...our wait continues continues......continues
