Done isb-babusar-khunjerab-ghizer-phandar-chitral-lowari on Liana

[dani_kk]

Just thought of sharing, i traveled on my liana eminent 1.8L automatic.

Day 1:
We left Islamabad at 4am on eid ul fitr 2017 second day.
Reached naran at 8am and stopped at jhalkad
Around 9am for breakfast.

We crossed babusar top and refilled fuel from chillas and reached hunza aliabad around 4pm.

We stayed at alkarim resort duikar and had dinner at the same place. It was situated on the road It duikar eagles nest which was really tough climb for less power cars but liana eminent climbed it easily.

Second day we left from duikar around 10am and reached atabad lake at 11:15am
And sost around 12:45am
We reached khunjerab around 2pm and it was snowing there and temperature dropped to
-4 degrees. It was amazing place, nature at its best.

I will keep on updating this thread, along with pictures

Nice.

A question, were you in a hurry? Isb to Naran in 4 hrs! Sost to Khunjerab 1:15hrs!

[dani_kk]

Been to naran 17/18 times so now we don't stop in naran. It's just used for linking to kkh. To save some time and enjoy the weather. Plus babusar top is the only pass that i love from all passes of Northern areas.

[dani_kk]

And i own a m18a powered liana
And while climbing up the hill i don't bring myself behind those slow drivers, who just make you brake on slopes. So my driving style usually is like overtaking and then bringing it to some decent average speed.And maintaining 60/65kph is not difficult while going uphill from sost to khunjerab bro.

[dani_kk]

It depends on Allah ka naam, driving style and engine power. Baki I've done all north Pakistan apart from broghil, fairymeadows, murtaza top and Taobat.

[dani_kk]

Plus we stopped in Sost bazar while coming back from khunjerab so don't spoil my plan by asking such questions in middle :D. I'll write the whole thing slowly slowly.

Writing slowly slowly ....................... but driving fasht fasht!

At khunjerab pass it was so cold, i came back from the atm. Since i had to come back again in mid July so i was not in a mood to go till the gate since it was snowing.

I came in car and turned the heater to full.
We started our journey and stopped between
Khunjerab pass and sost (a tea spot on left side while coming back from khunjerab)

After having tea we moved to sost and bought some stuff from there. Bought a power bank and it was so third class it died right away. At hunza

We reached aliabad at like 6-7 pm
And then went to alkarim resort
It was like half way between the aliabad and eagle's nest road. This was a newly made resort. People staying were really less. But services and rooms were 10/10.

We ordered chicken karahi and my dad used their kitchen and made it himself to enjoy some quality taste.

The weather was overcast. It was raining and windy at night. Enjoyed smoking sheesha right inside the lobby i took my own with me.
When everyone slept i enjoyed
