SO we had reached kel on the 3rd day ob biking.
One bro asked that astore is where. It is on way please wait. So on the 4rh day we leaved for domail bala, and we planned to go to chitta khatta lake and come back to domail bala on the same day as we heard from our latest info that chitta khatta is only 3 to 4 hours hike so we left for domail bala on bikes and one person on local jeep, and believe me it was soo tough , soo much roocky and soo long, it is about 23km and too long and we were 2 persons on each bike, which made it more tough, we we go slowly and on each steap, one person got of the CD70 and kicked it from back side to cross the steaps. All was done beutufully and all places were georgeous on the way. People who have gone there can feel that how could our biking had been. Now road to Chillas is one under construction on the way from lower domail bala. One patch of road was fulll rocky and our bikes didnt pass it bc we had to pull it with help of 3 person why??? bc our bikes were soo hot now that no more race was taken by the bike soo we took a looong break of 10 mins and kept going on.:-#
On the way ahead of lower domail bala we saw the caves of yaqoot as persons were mining over there on 3 different places. and atlast we reached domail bala in 2 hours. Now the time was about 12 pm. We updated us over here and meat some person over here from islamabad who also hav come for chitta khaata. and It was A BAD news that our info was wrong and it takes atleast 8 hours onesided to go to Chitta khaata lake. SO we had about 5 hours and could not go up for stay as we placed our all bags in kel in a house as planned we had to reach back same day:(
Then we had to stay in domail bala and we then made our time precious and went to shounter on bikes. It was soo beutiful khadda:*
-# of soo beutiful water, we injoyed over there. And as the road was going ahed so we planned to go ahead atleast the most we can go as we had heard the name of shounter lake and didnt know place. so about 2 km ahead of shounter lake is shounter fall and it was soo beutiuful, after one hour stay we left shounter fall and moved ahead, and reached the top of shounter water fall and saw army person over there with engineeres, so i went upto them and had a chat with them, and they were soo amazed to see our CD 70 upto there, and the Captain offered a drive upto ASTORE LAKE. WE said what is astore lake ??? Captain mazhar told that this road is under construction by army and will lead to astore soon and it will be completed in 5 more days. SOO guys now u can go to astore via this route. WE happily tnked for the drive that could had made us reach in the valley in 1 hours but we refused and hiked upto there in 3 hours was soo good and we reached in a valley named astore valley, i could had taken more pics but bc of low battery couldnt. we we had a nice time and was so happy to see that place as is was surrunded by snow and
what not over there, bas yar end ho gya.
Then we left back on there jeap as some person were coming back upto ur bikes in 1 hour, and reached domail bala and stayed overthere in a tent settled by a local for hikers like us and soo cheap , :150rps per person and meal were good. But one bad thing happend over here that rain started slowly and we wondered what could happen next.
U can also goo to see the polo ground from here and it is not soo far , maximuma about 35 min hike to the left side besides the river and it is also a beutiful place if u wana see but we didnt.
soo we stayed in domail bala and next day had to go to chitta khatta, and overnight we saw another group 5 young guys like and it mad us more energetic.
next day we both left for chitta khata lake at 6:30 am , that hired a guide and all had bags and what not , we had only snacks, drinks and lunch in a single bag. the start confirmed me that we must leave there guys and the guide if we had to reach soon, so we decided to move ahead with no guide toward the part of heaven and after the most diffucult journey, we managed to reach in5:45mins at 12:30pm we were on the top, thumbs up please.
here one steap comes that is soo diffucult at an angle of about 50 and this is the most tough part but is beutiful also as it goes with a beutiful waterfall, so we injoyed the beauty and the challenged our power of strength. One of our person from karachi didnt go bc he thought he could not do it. and one person with , it was his first hike soo he did it also with very very difficulty but it was his courage that he did it upto the top. we we stayed 2 hours at the top.
So guys this is our 2nd hike on 2nd day.
on our way back rain startd but in the last part which caused us to come form the long way bc the river had gone fast and no risk can be taken. one thing i forgot to tell about the other group that when we started to back up at2:30 after 2 hours stay, the 5 person we left back had reached nw in 8 hours and only 4 member of them reached, beta phir wapsi par jo un k sath buri hoe he na, nahe pucho to acha he. we reached domail bala back at 7 pm and rain startd at 5:30 and quiet fast, but we had rain coats so no problem but teh way had gone slipry and we thought that what could had happend to the other group. We didnt had any torch , only small lighter we had but other group had torchs and everthing (H), we we reached back in rain , got in the tent and slept overnight and next day we heard news that they reached at 1am on the next day. so this our 5th day and 2nd stay in domail bala.
more info will be given in next episode and i will share pics later on today.
