Hello everyone,

While going through above posts, I'm forced to reassess about my plan for a road trip Khi to Khunjrab in my ride (Vitz 2006) during mid of August. I m looking for the opinion from all the travel gurus (@HanifBhatti @asifcae @capsat) should I keep the plan intact or postpone it for later month?

My planned route and interested places are:

Khi - Islamabad
Islamabd - Abbottabad
Abbotttabad - Chillas (Via Babusar Top)
Chilas - Fairy Meadows (Via rented Jeep)
Back to Chilas
Chilas - Gilgit
Gilgit - Ghizer (Phander / Phander Lake)
Ghizer - Hunza
Hunza - Khunjrab Top
Then way back to Islamabad via KKH

My most important concerns is road condition and weather. Please guide

Moreover, What wear n tear I should expect in my ride after such a long trip.? Waiting for expert opinion. Thanks.
