Assalam-u-Alykum Sir!

MashaAllah, Nice Trip, and details, but need little more guidance, if we go on our car, then
1) how much we cover easily with our car, or the final place you recommend for our car and then rentals onward,
2) Fuel availability,

Yes you guessed right, Mahodand & Kharkhari,
Charges for Kharkhari Lake is more than Mahodand, where as i think Mahodand is more beautiful than Kharkhari.
Actually i have not seen the Kharkhari before, just saw on your photos only.

Walequm Asalaam
You can go in your car up to Bahrain. After that, there is no road and it is tough and seriously rough for your beloved car.

Fuel is available in towns.

Probably they do not charge for the beauty

Kharkhari is a little more distant than Mahodand and the road (I mean no road) is worse.

Dear Sajjad Bhai,

Just to have an Idea, would you let me know the complete expenses you have done right from the beginning Including Air Fare.
As I have family of 5 members a & planning to visit in the month of September.

Well I was going on such trip after 4 years of tough job and I am a person with open heart in terms of spending money I do not compromise on anything. Still expenses are up to you. You can spend, you can save.

PIA fare was 132,000 and my total expense was roughly 210,000.

great trip.. thank you for sharing all details here.. can you also advise if you used public transport from Islamabad to Fizzagat/Bahrian or hired a private car and please do share details? thx.

sajjad27s (sajjad27s) 2019-06-25 16:51:26 +0500 #73

I never used public transport. From ISB airport I hired Metro-Cab to Fizagat which was quite expensive and charged 13000. You can get a taxi in 5-6000 easily. I came back from Fizagat to ISB airport in just 5000 and the car was as good as Metro Cab.
