I am planning a visit to Gorakh Hill on Nissan AD van - Your suggestions please?

[SAV123]

As mentioned in subject line I am planning this trip in my own car which is Nissan AD van (1300 cc, load capacity 400kg, auto transmission) on one of coming Saturday Sunday.

I seek advise from those who have been to northern Pakistan in their own cars, on the terrain and difficulty level of Gorakh.

A comparison of elevation is being given below for your interest. I have been to all these points in my car except for Gorakh which happens to be the least high - though I am not sure of the terrain.

Gorakh Hill 5,689 ft
Ayubia 8,000 ft
Nathiagali 8,200 ft
Thandiani 9,000 ft
Malam Jabba 9,200 ft
Lulusar Lake 11,200 ft

Can you share your experience and advise, please?

Please grade your reply on terrain on following scale:

A= Easy
B= Difficult
C= Very difficult
X= Dangerous

No Idea abt Gorkah Hill but you could reach other destinations with no issues in fact driving AD van would be fun as its station wagon with long wheel base.
, make sure ur transmission is not faulty and fluids are at normal level.

avoid unnecessary braking
On steeps dont use D try to drive 2,L .

Take breaks and cool down ur brakes but never use water.

each area requires special driving skills and hardness level varies for each individual.
with 12 years of driving experience i would rate as

Ayubia A
Nathiagali A
Thandiani B
Malam Jabba B
Lulusar Lake A

I appreciate your comments and advise!

Brother i have been to all these places in my car except for Gorakh Hill and that is the reason why I seek advise from those who can compare these places with Gorakh Hill on provided grades.
