@rebel.....
Although I have made a couple of traveling threads......But After going through your marvelous trip on a classic....I feel that you have placed a "Full Stop".....to travelogues,.....looking for proper words to praise.....
great trip and even greater coverage....awesome.
will contact you for some tips....:)..

I have spent the night reading every single word in this thread, and I am happy to announce that I am your fan

FLV does not give good quality, but considering our bandwidth handicaps, it is best to convert the videos to FLV and then upload to YouTube

Looking forward to more excitement ... MashaAllah, you guys did an incredible job:D

thankyou askhokhar...uploading the first of many videos to youtube as we speak...it shows 100 minutes remaining...i think il put up 2 on upload and itl be up by sehri...

[askhokhar]

Still faster than Firefox is Google Chrome ...

if u r using internet explorer cancel the upload, download mozilla firefox and upload via mozilla, 100 minutes will turn into 50approx

Awesome trip!

That's the PTDC tourist guide, right?

[askhokhar]

Bhai ..

You can upload an album and keep the privacy settings to "Only Me" .. that way others cannot see it on FB, but you can still link the photos to PW...

Anyways, so far so good ... I have loved every single post of this thread

@afnan....hehe...thats what we tried...thanks!!
@xulfiqar...yess!! indeed the sound was awesome...wait till u see the deosai clip...she sounds so perfect in taht!!!!
@dms...nahh mate...its chrome...but its a 300 mb vid:P
@askhokhar...i dont like fb privacy so i tend not to keep any of my albums open...its all here already...il just upload a selected few to picassa...as for the sheesha...while that would have been fun, that would have almost certainly burnt my interior...so no..thats just a water pipe from a backpack:P

[askhokhar]

I am going to rate this thread .. It;s a pity there is no 6-star, 7-star rating ... so I am forced to click on "Excellent"

[askhokhar]

@Spitfire ... Rehman Bhai aap kahan hain? Long time, no see ...

[ranasherdil]

@rebel

Excellant thread. Great effort...

can you tell, k kitni baar utar kar ascend par gari ko dhakka lagana para???

[rebel]

@ranasherdil thank you!!
the bug engine has some serious torque...we had to get her going with a push once heading up to rama because the air fuel mixture got messed up due to lack of oxygen...we fixed it when we got to rama and the next time she climbed like a charm

the second push was near lulusar lake when she got stuck in some gooey mud/slush...

thats pretty much all she needed...we expected she would need help at babusar...but she didnt...she made it up the toughest bits on her own power!!
