Breakfast Break

After couple of hours, reached Abbotabad and stopped on Miyaa Jee Hotel, Hasan Abdal for Breakfast, found very clean and fine hotel even for families.

No one was ready to wait, neither for tea nor for Click

From here , we turned inn to a group of 8 including driver, Rizwan bhai... and that fine and sufficient breakfast cost us 1100 rs for 8 and
just after this point , we faced that turn which cost us 5 K ... Samajh to gae honge ap..

KEWAI

After couple of hours journey and a Chona of 5 K had second stop at Aabshaar Cafe, Kewai as except 2 of us, every one was new on this route and every spot every happening is worth attractive and staying for rest .... so due to same, had a Hot Tea while legs in chilling water...

With all the excitement, hiked some height towards the Water Flow for the Cafe.

One thing i experienced here, having Tea and Pakoray with the chilled water flowing from your legs is the one thing which can be done many times with the same amount of tafree regardless how many times you have been there before.

Convincing to leave the place with love

LULUSAR LAKE

After Jalkhad, Lulusar is the next famous point but we dint stay as the time getting short and day getting very sunny. So visiting members just waved their hands and witnessed this beauty from the running vehicle with the feeling of,

Maana ke tu hai Haseen ,
Magar manzil hai aur Kahee

CHILLAS

Reaching Chillas gave the understanding of its name, even around 4 pm the weather is Chilling Hot.. encountered an antique car rally which seems under the banner of PW but not sure.....We could not take much snaps of the antique cars as the asking price of a picture was 200 ... my younger somehow managed to take this click ... behind this beauty the hotel situated where we had our lunch of delicious Kabali Palao...

and Finally GILGIT

While crossing the bumpy roads in darkness from chillas to gilgit, we reached there around 9 pm and as per the driver's recommendation got 2 rooms in Jamal Hotel for 1800 each .. Had to put much efforts to arrange dinner for the team as it seems 1 am at the time of 10 pm when only couple of hotels opened with no food remains but some how managed to collected dinner from 3 different shops...

While Hotel searching, found this in Shaheen Hotel..

After the Dinner, dint want to do anything except sleep and rest as everyone was in travelling for around 15 hours so after the dinner..ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss and which makes ,

[color-green]JAGLOT[/color]

Jaglot is a town in GB, comes around 50 km and an hour drive from our Hotel in Gilgit, which locates in Airport Chowk area. A town surrounded by beautiful locations with an uninterrupted silence ...on driver's recommendation, had our Breakfast stop over there... and we stopped at the time when market started to open, which made us able to have some lovely chats with the locals
