Guidance Required Regarding 03-04 Days Tour to Azad Kashmir

[nukhyder]

Hellow All,

I am planning to visit Pir Chinasi (02 nights stay) and Dao Khan (Leepa Valley) (01 Nigh stay) on Suzuki Custus on Eid Holidays (12/13 August, 2019 and onward).

Can any one please guide me, if it is feasible to go on Suzuki Cultus. As far as Pir Chinasi is concern, I think it is feasible but I am confused about Leepa Valley upto Dao Khan? According to some officials of AJK Tourism, Car may go easily upto Dao Khan. However, guidance is also required from travel Gurus.

Many thanks in advance for any type of guidance in this regard

Regards,

have you asked an ajk tourism official/army personel to check leepa valley area is allowed to go or not?.. since its close to the border and border tensions are high these days

pir chinasi is a day return trip.. 2 nights is a lot

maybe go to shogran and rawalakot?

In fact AJK Tourism official himself suggested me to go to Dao Khan. I think LOC is far enough from Dao Khan. How is road from Muzafarabad to Rwlakot? is it suitable for Car?

take some guidance for dao khan from this thread

I traveled rawlakot in feb19. Roads are good for cars as well no problem. For Dao khan take reservation for AJK rest house, it's best and cheap as well. Rawlakot is good to stay and visit nearby lake.

Rooms at AJK Tourism rest house at Dao Khan already booked.
Is it mandatory to get approval from Army for Dao Khan or no needed?

[atifpia]

No prior approval needed,

U can make registration in few minutes at Daokhan enterence Army check post. Must have CNIC.

There is one pvt guest house at daokhan. I have few fotos with phone no. will search in my pc and will share here
