pindi to abt to muzaffarbad (do guide me what to use after abt to muzaffabad) as daewoo is only listing till abt.

Why from Pindi to Abotabad then Muzaffarabad?!?!!?
If wanna go Muzaffarabad then go directly from Islamabad Murree Motorway...

[faiqzakai]

then night in muzaffabadnext muzaffabad to naran

Or if you wanna go Naran then go directly to Naran from Rawalpindi... Quit Muzaffarabad... If you wanna go Nelum Valley then only try to go Muzaffarabad.

naran to chilas night in chilaschilas to gilgit night in gilgit.

Go directly from Naran to Gilgit... It is easily do able..

[faiqzakai]

Try this plan...

DAY 1. Islamabad to Naran, night stay in Naran/Batakundi

Day 2. Leave for Hunza early morning visit Rakaposhi view point on the way and then night stay in Hunza.

Day 3. Leave for Khunjrab pass early morning, visit attabad lake on the way, come back to Hunza Stay for the night.

Day 4. Visit Eagles Nest, Baltit fort, Naltar Valley go direct to Gilgit and night stay in Gilgit.

Sir you have a 10 months baby with you and also will not have a transport of your own. I suggest you shorten your trip till Kaghan Naran, you can roam number of places till there. Try looking for a direct bus from Lahore to Mansehra, I saw a few faisal movers on my way.

[pwuser149714456226]

im more curious to know that how much off roading mean jeep track we need to cover in azad kashmir to visit places like taobat. shounter lake, and ratti gali lake or these r safe with family ? can we go n come back same day eaisly.

i wanted to travel 2-4 hours in a day not more than that.

[pwuser149714456226]

thanks u boss for ur suggestion,
how much time will it take frm lhr to manshera?

[pwuser149714456226]

wont u recommmend azad kashmir with little one?

[pwuser149714456226]

will hav a private transport for 5-7 days frm muzaffarbad, can hav from pindi aswell

[pwuser150323451944]

Approx 7 to 8 hours.
Sorry dont have much idea about Azad kashmir because only have been to Tolipeer, Banjosa and that too on a day trip.

[pwuser149714456226]

thanks for u r detailed reply bro, but cant afford that much travelling in a day like isb to naran, or naran to hunza..! nd jus wanna cover gilgit hubza side or azad kashmir, skardu road vibes r not good these days due to construction

Since you don't have own transport and if you have to hire Jeep then Kashmir side is more feasible due to short distances.

For Kashmir, you can plan to hire Pajero from Muzaffarabad/Rwp, (Decide with driver to visit all places on Pajero except Ratti Gali)
1st day Rwp/Muzafarabad to Kutton and night stay.
2nd day visit Keran, Ratti Gali. (for Ratti Gali you will need to hire jeep and then trekking to reach lake, confirm if it is feasible to do with kid) Night stay at Sharda
3rd day visit Kel, Arang Kel and then TaoBat, Night stay at Taobat
4th day return to Keran, visit Upper Neelam, night stay
5th day return back to Muzafarabad/Rwp

For Hunza, there is PTDC service from Rwp to Naran that is recommended.
Night stay Naran,
2nd day Naran to Gilgit
3rd day Gigit to Hunza (visit Forts in daytime, evening Eagle nest)
4th day Hunza to Khunjrab and Return (Attabad lake, Passu Cones, Hussaini on way)
5th day Hunza to Naltar (4x4 trek) Night stay at Naltar is very much recommended
6th day Visit lakes in Naltar and return back to Gilgit
7th day Gilgit to Naran/Batakundi night stay
8th day Naran to Rwp

Hiring Jeep for Hunza will definitely add more cost because too much traveling. If you plan your trip with any tour operator that will be more feasible and economical.
