I visited northern areas on june-2003 about 11 years ago and after that could not get time from very busy life of Karachi.
Nature always attracts me a lot and always have wish to explore nature from all over the world.
Now i got a chance to visit my beautiful country again and i was very excited because i love my country so much and admire it's beauty.
Here is itinerary of my journey:-
we were 3 of my small family me, my wife and my 10 years old daughter.
I already had booked a car from karachi by calling "Islamabad view hotel" muree they reffered me this car driver name "KHURRAM". he has daewoo racer car in very good and comfortable condition.
He was asking PKR.20,000/= for 3 days trip from "Islamabad>Balakot>Naran>Balakot>Muree" but after negociation i made him agree on 15,000 for that with no other/hidden cost (Fuel/meal all included in this amount).

Karachi to Islamabad by Air-Blue at 7 : 00am
we reached Islamabad airport at the right time 9: 10am and our pre-hired car driver was waiting outside the airport.
We started our next part of the journey by road from Islamabad at abount 10am morning and we reached Balakot at 2: 30pm via Pindi>Texila>Haripur>Abbotabad>Mansehra>Balakot.
It was a 4: 30 hrs traveling but we enjoyed it because weather was not so hot and we found some drizzling in abbotabad.
we stayed in Pine Track hotel in Balakot which is very good and famous in Balakot. we booked room in Rs.1800/= for a night he asked me Rs.2500 for the same. but in off season you can make good negotiation.
